After Action Report
In Dallas, the Heat edged the Mavericks 103-96. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
