After Action Report

The Mavericks shocked the Wizards 123-107. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
