In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Lakers 118-93. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
