After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 120-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
