After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Hawks 106-98. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Hawks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
