After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks squeaked past the Suns 102-101. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
