After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets edged the Mavericks 102-96. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
