After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks survived the Suns 109-105. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
