Western Conference | Round 2 | (1) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks (2-2)

[G R E Y]

Pretty pass by Luka, too. Beautiful.

[Statlanta]

This was genuinely one of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen, and I don’t have a dog in this fight.

It might not even be the worst today with Scott Foster, Embiid, Butler, Lowry and Harden on the docket.

[Bruin]

Series tied

[tdotrep2]

So he gives you a air ball 3 and then that and RJ says master piece...Suns just missed two open 3s.

Luka gotta learn how to close these games out

hes responsible for the last 10 points... how else u want him to close

[Yuri36]

Lol that last play by Luka

[JoeyLightYears]

But Luka has no help I heard. He's out there 1 on 5 I heard

His teammates are trash. They're just being allowed to be physical while the Suns can't even look at them the wrong way. At the end of the day anybody in the NBA can hit open 3's.

They aren't trash. They are a bunch of 3 and D guys who are like the 2nd most valuable asset in today's pop a shot league. But yeah the refs were tragic this game. Flush and move on and pray they hold Foster out for game 6 at least so you can concede that one instead of going into Dallas in an elimination game.

Great win Mavs fans congrats. You're making the Suns look much less invincible than had been my perception. Anyone's series.

I’m glad to hear this from a Suns fan. Some other Suns fans keep acting like the Mavs supporting cast aren’t one of the worst.

Ayton has tried to defend in the last possesions ending in a three Kleber, Bruson and Bullock. The guy literally don't know where it is on defense with this today game and Doncic manipulating all

[Archx]

Luka actually got help last two games. That’s insane lol

Both Brunson and Luka are kinda ass on offense tonight but they others showed up aswell. Finally.

If you win who cares who scores

I'm just saying, other players played great, don't need to be salty.

[Calinks]

I'm very surprised and impressed with Dallas! I thought the Suns were smoking everyone except maybe the Warriors.

Dallas have been the hottest team in NBA since the All star break along with Celtics so that's not so much of a surprise.

I was always thinking they would cool off, that hasn't happened.

Bitter haters 2 games ago Luka ball was impossible to be successful with and he was holding his teammates back.

His role players stepped up today, Phoenix still has way more talent on the roster, both things can be true

[Kobe187]

Dallas supporting cast doesn’t get enough credit, poor performance from Doncic but great play by Brunson, Finney-Smith, Bullock, Kleber, Dinwiddie etc.

[CobraCommander]

Do y’all think this is a series yet lol

[Forbes]

GG, no sweep and no Suns in 5. Would be a crazy meltdown if this series gets stolen.

[Phystic]

Suns desperately need to wake up. Not just because of these two games. The 8 playoff games before were not good games either

[Mavrelous]

Mavs win on absolute stinker performance from Luka, and GTFO with the refs crap, the game started with Crowder flagrant on Luka that wasn't whisteled, I've never seen Luka and Brunson flop like this in my life, Suns deserved every little bit of it, taste your own medicine.

[MoneyInDaBank07]

Dallas is so fun to watch. Don't think either team beats GSW unfortunately.

[life_saver]

Luka is the best offensive player in the league just slightly ahead of Jokic..also probably top2 player in the league, only Giannis is better

You say that when he just shot a air ball 3....you are definitely delusional if you think this game has Luka ahead of jokic

well I am not basing off one game. Every player has a bad shooting night, especially from 3. That doesn't mean Luka isn't amazing.

[ShazamDaShiznt]

Classic NBA with their series extension. Let's let one team get physical while the other is stacking up fouls. Didn't even need a scott foster for this one.
