After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Bucks 103-91. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
