After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Mavericks outlasted the Suns 113-102. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Suns. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
