After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Mavericks 119-114 in overtime. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
