After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Warriors 125-105. Mavericks torched the Warriors on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
