After Action Report
The Suns handled the Mavericks 107-91. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
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.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
