After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the SuperSonics 94-78. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
