After Action Report

The Mavericks held off the Clippers 125-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
