After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bobcats survived the Mavericks 104-100. Bobcats controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
