After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Mavericks 118-109. Lakers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
