After Action Report
The Hornets knocked off the Mavericks 112-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
