After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Hawks 103-79. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
