After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the SuperSonics 110-106. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
