After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Celtics 106-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Celtics' balanced five covered every spot on the floor.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
