After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Celtics 137-116. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
