After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks shocked the Clippers 120-99. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them.
