After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Mavericks 121-96. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
