After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Mavericks 127-87. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
