After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Suns 137-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
