After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 112-76. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
