After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Nuggets 138-92. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
