After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors handled the Mavericks 138-128. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
