After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Mavericks demolished the Cavaliers 129-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
