After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Hawks 106-90. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
