After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Celtics 99-91. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
