After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks outlasted the Suns 98-85. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
