After Action Report

The 76ers pulled away from the Mavericks 96-85. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
