After Action Report
The Mavericks knocked off the Clippers 134-128. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
