After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the 76ers 104-102. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
