After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks survived the SuperSonics 120-115. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them.
