After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the SuperSonics 99-95. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
