After Action Report
The Mavericks upended the Hornets 99-92. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
