After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Clippers 122-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
