After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers demolished the Mavericks 134-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
