After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the SuperSonics 106-97. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
