The Mavericks fended off the Lakers 109-101. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
