After Action Report
In Seattle, the Mavericks outlasted the SuperSonics 114-106. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
