After Action Report

The Mavericks demolished the Clippers 125-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
