After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Mavericks 113-97. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
