After Action Report
The Warriors took care of the Mavericks 105-90. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; the Warriors steamroller is in full effect right now. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
