After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Hornets 100-99. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
