After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors blew the doors off the Mavericks 118-95. Warriors' scorers couldn't be contained. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
