After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Mavericks snuck past the Hornets 100-98. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
