After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the 76ers 115-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
