After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Nets 100-83. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
