After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the SuperSonics 109-104. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
