After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Heat 88-75. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
