After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the Heat 113-100. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
