The Mavericks fended off the Cavaliers 130-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
