After Action Report

The Mavericks fended off the 76ers 113-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
