After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns outlasted the Mavericks 120-109. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
