After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Magic 101-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
