After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Nets 89-76. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
