After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Cavaliers 118-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
