After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Wizards 135-107. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
