After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks blew the doors off the Mavericks 120-97. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
