After Action Report
The Lakers fended off the Mavericks 93-87. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
