After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the SuperSonics 121-96. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
