After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Mavericks buried the Suns 108-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
