After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Clippers 101-98. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Clippers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
