After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Heat 127-86. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
