After Action Report

The Warriors snuck past the Mavericks 109-104. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors steamroller is in full effect right now. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
