After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 120-89. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
