After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Warriors 138-83. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
