After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Hawks 115-102. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it

- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
