After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Mavericks 117-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
