After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Suns 122-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
