After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Raptors 104-92. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
