After Action Report

The Warriors pulled away from the Mavericks 112-101. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
