After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Mavericks 130-117. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
