Mavs 118, Hawks 117

[mtrot]

I liked their fouls were actually preventing the opponents baskets in this game and it looked like they made an effort to ensure that. Nice contrast to all the +1 festivals that occurred in some other games, recently.

Also noticed that Luka might actively try to give his peers a bit more breathing room offensively instead of trying to carry the whole load on his own shoulders. Same with fighting for rebounds - but he turned up his intensity in the 4th quarter in that aspect of the game and snatched away numerous contested defensive rebounds the team absolutely needed to succeed.

This ^^^.  The Mavs have been way too soft of late when dealing with opponents trying to start a layup line.
