After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Wizards 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
