After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Lakers 114-100. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
