After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Hawks 107-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
