After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Celtics 111-93. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Celtics. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
