After Action Report

The Mavericks snuck past the Clippers 94-91. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
