After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Jazz 117-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
