After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Lakers 128-84. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
