After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Bucks 102-90. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
