After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Lakers 137-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
