After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Suns 124-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
