After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks outlasted the Celtics 113-99. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
