After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Hornets 95-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
