After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks took care of the Lakers 117-107. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
