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.
