After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks outlasted the 76ers 128-109. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
