After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Warriors 98-86. The Warriors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Warriors lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
