After Action Report
The Lakers fended off the Mavericks 135-128. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks sent shots into the fifth row all night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
