After Action Report

In Dallas, the Heat outlasted the Mavericks 120-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
