After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Cavaliers 135-113. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
