After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 139-118. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
