After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Heat 100-98. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
