After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Hawks 103-101. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
