After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Celtics 114-109. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Celtics. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
