After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Cavaliers 133-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
