After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Hornets 108-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
