After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Hornets 92-75. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
