After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks pulled away from the Lakers 124-105. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
