After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Jazz 120-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
