After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Hornets 98-95. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
