Mavericks use 'grit' to beat Lakers

Both those guys are playing big on the inside. Zaza's position defense on some of these guys has been great. The other night [Blake] Griffin, tonight Randle. He's been tremendous. Tonight, 16 boards, Powell 12 boards. You know, Powell had a big couple of rebounds on the last couple of possessions. In those situations, if it's a miss, the ball gets kicked around and somebody gets a wide open 3. Coming up with those [rebounds] is big. Our energy guys had good numbers tonight as far as plus/minus and stuff like that.

Zaza made a huge shot on the right baseline which was a read that D-Will made.
