After Action Report
In Dallas, the Hornets buried the Mavericks 116-84. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
