After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Mavericks 116-105. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
