After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Lakers 118-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
