After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Mavericks 115-114. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
