After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Mavericks 102-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
