After Action Report

In a track meet, the Clippers shocked the Mavericks 118-113. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
