After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Mavericks 149-118. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
