After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Raptors 92-83. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
