After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Nuggets 99-95. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
