After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Celtics 121-100. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
