After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Hawks 104-102. Mavericks' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
