After Action Report

In Golden State, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Warriors 117-81. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Warriors. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Warriors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
