After Action Report
In Dallas, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 133-108. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
