After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Hornets 103-94. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
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.
