After Action Report
The Mavericks stunned the Clippers 123-116. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
