After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Celtics 97-94. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
