What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
