After Action Report

The Mavericks fended off the Nuggets 102-95. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
