After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Mavericks 116-84. Lakers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
