After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 125-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
