After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Suns 118-96. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
