After Action Report
In Dallas, the Lakers edged the Mavericks 109-100. Lakers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
