After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 113-80. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
