After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Magic 136-133. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
