After Action Report

In Denver, the Mavericks pulled away from the Nuggets 126-110. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
