After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Magic 100-84. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
