After Action Report
The Suns survived the Mavericks 106-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
