After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 124-97. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
