After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks buried the Lakers 117-93. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
