After Action Report
The Mavericks knocked off the SuperSonics 115-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
