After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the 76ers 138-118. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
