After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Suns 114-98. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
