After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Cavaliers 101-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
