After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the 76ers 129-107. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
