After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Suns 141-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
