After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Mavericks 121-97. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. It broke open after the break.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
