After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Mavericks 105-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
