After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Warriors 121-116. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
