After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Mavericks 115-86. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
