After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat demolished the Mavericks 118-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
