After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the 76ers 91-79. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Shots just aren't falling for the 76ers lately; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
