After Action Report
In Orlando, the Mavericks held off the Magic 107-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
