After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Bucks 118-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bucks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
