The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 113-84. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
