After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Celtics 106-105. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
