After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Mavericks knocked off the Hornets 118-115. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
