After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Wizards 119-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
