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.
