After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Bucks 114-91. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bucks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
