After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns demolished the Mavericks 124-101. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
