After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Lakers 117-82. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
