After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Mavericks 114-110. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
