After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 145-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
