After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Hornets 108-88. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
