After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Mavericks 143-103. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
