After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Wizards 108-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
