After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Nuggets 114-84. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
