After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the Suns 141-117. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
