After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Mavericks took care of the Hornets 109-92. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
