After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Jazz 97-96. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- 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.
