After Action Report
In Dallas, the Nets held off the Mavericks 100-94. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
