After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Heat 121-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
