After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks outlasted the Warriors 136-124. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
