After Action Report
In Dallas, the Suns downed the Mavericks 99-82. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
