After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Wizards 119-95. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
