After Action Report

The Warriors buried the Mavericks 131-88. The Warriors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; the Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
