After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Hornets 97-96. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
