After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Lakers 92-87. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
