In Golden State, the Mavericks buried the Warriors 130-109. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Warriors lately; Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
