After Action Report

The Mavericks edged the Suns 114-106. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
