After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Hornets 98-89. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
