Phx running out of time though. Down 10 with 4 minutes left. And really tonight Phx has not shown they have stopped Dallas tonight.

What is the logic behind that last call? Brunson clearly pushed off on Paul. I get it has been a questionable night, but the officials aren't even trying to hide it.

Lets just agree that refs have been absolutely horrible for both teams. I think it's the best way to calm our nerves down.

Feels like they've gotten like 5 calls in a row wrong
For both teams
Just bizarre

Shocking that the Mavs are better on both ends when others get to eat. He still shot too much btw.

Ok couch GM.

When the sun's win it let me know. Cp3 isn't getting younger and their younger players aren't getting much better.


Thank you for proving how little you watch or understand basketball

All of Bridges, Johnson , ayton and booker have improved every year.

Mavs players were clutch any time suns made a push. Role players hit shots. Kidd finally allowed brunson to enter the game. Mavs were active on both ends.

Solid win for Mavs. Suns have a lot of tape to watch and mistakes to correct

Phx really needs Booker to make a leap if they want to win it all. Maybe he is hurt with the leg injury still but I haven't seen any aggression tonight.

If he has to think about the money rather than the drive to win in order to play aggressive that’s a pretty big red flag for this generation of players

Perfect example how tonight went. Mavs got all the bounces and made all the plays.

Never expected a sweep, so have no issues really

On to game 4.

Suns pretty much laid an egg. If Foster gets the next game we might have a series!
