After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Raptors 124-87. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Raptors. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
