After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Hornets 116-115. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
