After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Bobcats 112-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
