After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Nets 97-96. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
