After Action Report
The Suns held off the Mavericks 114-105. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
