After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Hornets 111-95. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
