After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the SuperSonics 125-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
