After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Suns 123-120. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
