After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Hawks 101-87. Mavericks' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
