After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Suns 136-82. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
