After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks pulled away from the Hornets 111-99. Mavericks torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
