After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Raptors 134-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
