After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the Clippers 98-88. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
