After Action Report
In Dallas, the Hornets handled the Mavericks 102-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
