After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Celtics 124-123 in overtime. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
