Friday's game between the NBA's best offensive team and the league's worst defensive team went exactly as expected, with the Dallas Mavericks pounding the Los Angeles Lakers, 140-106.
The Mavs shot better than 62 percent from the field and 51 percent from three-point territory in the rout, which included this improbable sequence to end the first quarter.
If only there were a few seconds remaining in the quarter to give Dallas a chance to match Reggie Miller's efforts.
