After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Hawks 117-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
