After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks survived the 76ers 147-142 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
