After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Hornets 116-96. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Hornets. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
