After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Hawks 125-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
