After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Mavericks 106-105. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
