After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Suns 131-128 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
