1 Ja Morant 1: the amount the Hornets outscored the Mavericks on fast breaks
The Mavericks aren’t interested in pushing the ball. That’s fine, though I think it would create some easy opportunities to score that they could desperately use. NBA Bobbleheads Fine, whatever. But they absolutely have to play defense in transition, every game, whether they like it or not. Charlotte waxed them on fast breaks tonight. That can’t happen.
