After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks stunned the Wizards 115-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
