After Action Report

The Mavericks blew the doors off the 76ers 144-122. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
