After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Hornets 117-106. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
