After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the SuperSonics 113-100. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
