After Action Report

The Mavericks stunned the Hornets 110-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
