After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Hawks 109-104. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
