After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Heat 107-105. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Heat. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
