After Action Report
The Suns upended the Mavericks 108-103. Every possession went the Suns way. Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
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 · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
