After Action Report

The 76ers took care of the Mavericks 115-96. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
