After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks downed the Celtics 118-107. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
