After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Mavericks buried the Clippers 113-92. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
