After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Lakers 103-100. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
