After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Hawks 121-108. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
