After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Nuggets 122-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
