After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Mavericks outlasted the Suns 111-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
