After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Cavaliers 122-117 in overtime. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
