After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Bucks 105-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
