After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Suns 98-86. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
