After Action Report
The Mavericks stunned the Lakers 107-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
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.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
