After Action Report

The Mavericks blew the doors off the Warriors 123-95. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
