After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Magic 105-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
