After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Clippers 136-102. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
