After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Lakers 116-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
