After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Hornets 99-84. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
