After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Mavericks 129-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
