After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers survived the Mavericks 103-99. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

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.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
