After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Wizards 113-86. Mavericks torched the Wizards on the offensive end. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it
