After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 144-119. Mavericks torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. The SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
