After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Nets 147-117. Mavericks torched the Nets on the offensive end. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
