After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Celtics 100-75. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
