The Mavericks rolled past the Lakers 127-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
