After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Warriors 126-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
