After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the Nuggets 112-111. Mavericks torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
