After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Mavericks 105-101. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
