After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards buried the Mavericks 119-96. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
