After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the SuperSonics 94-90. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
