After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Lakers 102-95. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
