After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Knicks 140-135 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
