In a track meet, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Hawks 135-98. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
