After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 155-71. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Lakers. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
