After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Mavericks 114-106. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
