After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Pacers 99-94. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
