After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Lakers 103-100. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
