After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Lakers 95-92. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
