After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Warriors 100-96. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Warriors are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
