After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the Lakers 108-100. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
