After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Wizards 124-123. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Wizards · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
