After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Mavericks 117-107. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
