After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Kings 98-97. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
