After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks pulled away from the Clippers 126-111. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
