After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Mavericks pulled away from the Clippers 131-114. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
