After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Suns 100-98. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
