After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Cavaliers 114-111. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
