After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks upended the 76ers 124-115. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
