After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Suns 108-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
