After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Warriors 96-95. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
