After Action Report

The Mavericks took care of the Heat 113-100. Mavericks torched the Heat on the offensive end. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
