After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Hornets 113-97. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
