After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Hornets 107-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- 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.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
