After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks downed the Suns 128-111. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
