In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Mavericks 119-96. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
