After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Clippers 116-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Clippers stayed locked in. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
