After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Mavericks 123-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
