After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat downed the Mavericks 106-96. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
