After Action Report
In Dallas, the Wizards rolled past the Mavericks 131-107. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
