After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Wizards 123-109. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
