After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Mavericks 132-104. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
