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.
