After Action Report
In Dallas, the Hawks squeaked past the Mavericks 98-93. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
