After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the Lakers 121-113. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
