After Action Report
In Dallas, the Lakers fended off the Mavericks 108-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
