After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks buried the Cavaliers 125-104. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
