After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Wizards 105-100. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
