After Action Report

The Warriors ran roughshod over the Mavericks 116-87. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
