Careful and steady, tonight, the Lakers have been focusing on this point.
Winning consistently has its advantages. For example, in terms of game attitude, the Lakers players have a "strong team mentality," which means that if they know something is correct, they will execute it without hesitation.
The lesson learned from the last loss to the Hawks, the Lakers absorbed the experience well in this game. After taking the lead, they didn't get careless, and when their touch wasn't good, they weren't blindly confident. They passed the ball when needed, and at critical shooting moments, they tried to find the best shooting opportunities. Facing the Mavericks' defense, a pick-and-roll or drive after a pick-and-roll could create opportunities, so execution in this aspect wasn't difficult.
The key was consistency, and the Lakers maintained it tonight.
