After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the 76ers 127-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
