After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Lakers 113-108. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
