After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Heat 139-92. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
