After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets blew the doors off the Mavericks 108-86. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
