After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks edged the Magic 97-90. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
