After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Lakers 103-95. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
