After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Wizards 102-88. Mavericks torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
