After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Raptors 122-120. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
