After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks rolled past the Lakers 123-100. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
