After Action Report
In Dallas, the Suns stunned the Mavericks 95-86. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Suns looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
