After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Hornets 120-88. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
