After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Hornets 121-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- 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.
