After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Mavericks 130-96. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
