After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks edged the Celtics 112-104. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
