After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Jazz 112-106. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
