After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Suns 117-88. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Suns. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
