After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the SuperSonics 103-95. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
