After Action Report
The Warriors survived the Mavericks 106-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
