After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Hawks 135-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
