After Action Report

The Warriors stunned the Mavericks 105-101. Every possession went the Warriors way. Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
