After Action Report
The Suns edged the Mavericks 101-95. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
