The Mavericks knocked off the Lakers 130-125. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
