After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Mavericks 121-115. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
