After Action Report
The 76ers edged the Mavericks 102-95. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
