After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Clippers 101-94. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
