After Action Report

The Mavericks took care of the Clippers 120-107. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
