After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Raptors 129-105. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
