After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the Lakers 105-92. Mavericks torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
