After Action Report
The Suns buried the Mavericks 121-81. Suns' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
