After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 138-94. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
