After Action Report

The Mavericks edged the Jazz 136-129 in overtime. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
