After Action Report

The Mavericks snuck past the Jazz 131-127. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
