After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
