After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the SuperSonics 106-74. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
