The Mavericks outlasted the Clippers 96-89. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
