After Action Report
The Mavericks shocked the Nets 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
