After Action Report

The Mavericks demolished the Nets 129-102. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
