After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Suns 103-90. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
