After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Warriors 109-108. Mavericks' stops on the defensive end set the tone. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
