After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the Hornets 104-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
