After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Mavericks 100-82. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
