After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Magic 105-102. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
