After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Clippers 116-94. Mavericks' starting five clicked while the Clippers looked disjointed. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Clippers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
