After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the Hawks 122-117. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
