After Action Report
The Suns handled the Mavericks 96-84. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
