After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Mavericks 116-113. Lakers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
