After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Bucks 89-87. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
