After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the SuperSonics 114-112. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
