After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the SuperSonics 129-124 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
