After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Heat 120-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
