After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Lakers 119-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
