After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Mavericks 113-101. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
