Luka and the Mavericks strategy is to go at and get Ayton in early foul trouble. Luka singlehandedly got half the Suns in foul trouble last time. It would we nice is we were able to return the favor.
Doncic left early with 3 fouls, not Ayton.

Like that Williams shortened the bench a bit tonight.

Yes & it looks like Moore is getting a bit of a run in place of Carter who has not played well so far this year on the offensive end.
Go Suns!

This was Moore's best game as a Sun. Nader and Galloway continue to do their thing. Gallo getting fouled on a 3 is a treat I look forward to every time he plays. CP3 played well tonight. And Bridges ignited that comeback in the 3rd.

I'm looking forward to the rematch on Monday.

What am I missing? I only have a box score but 4 points and nothing much else out of Moore sure has folks impressed tonight.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

He makes the team play their sets.
Is much more effective than having Carter on the floor jacking up bad shots. And I like Carter.

They will have Porzingis back adding a whole new dimension.

The Mavs broadcast heavily implied they’d be facing Booker.

This is the perfect “get right” game for Dallas with so many key players missing for us. A near must win for Dallas, to be honest.
But I am feeling good vibes on this, Suns win.
Good vibes wins out.

Crowder red hot. 8 points already in the 1st qtr.
Can we please drop the Ariza comparisons now? He also hit a killer 3 to help seal the win.

Pretty sure it was a cheap shot by Johnson for the stinger on his shoulder ..

Hmm. Suns broadcast wasn’t so sure.

No offense to whoever said it, but that was a dumb comparison from the jump.

Ariza got paid and mailed it in. Crowder has games where he misses shots, but the effort is always there.

Ayton - 18 points, 17 rebounds
We went to him and he was aggressive most of the time. Nice.

Maybe just maybee DA figured it out. I really am scared to invest any hope in DA but he was fantastic last night. Way to go Ayton.

Kind of lucky to be only down 5 after that quarter
Yup that was the key stretch
55-55 at halftime became 61-74 midway through the quarter with CP going to the bench but somehow we were able to scrap to 77-82
