After Action Report

The Mavericks upended the Clippers 129-118. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
