After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks rolled past the Celtics 120-99. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
