It’s getting kinda hilarious how we just destroy every team in the clutch

YES SIR MF-ERS!

Really strong finish. Proud of Book and the guys. Biyombo chipped in a great game. Lot of guys chipped in: Crowder, Bridges, Paul, Payne. Nice win over a tough opponent.

W00t. looking at box, why booker not credited with that block?

They gave us the ball so I think they called it an offensive foul

We have an 8 game winning streak vs the Mavs…unfortunately Ayton isn’t playing as I’m pretty sure he’s like 8-0 or something against Luka. Mavs played a tough one last night against Toronto, Luka played 40+ minutes. I think we push the streak to 9, 113-104 suns win!
109-101, I was close

Suns shot 8-37 from deep and Dallas had 10 more rebounds.

I'm inclined to think Luka's 8 turnovers were a pretty big factor in deciding this game.

Seemed like quite a bit were in the 2nd half and sparked some runs for us

Right. Just the clean block would've been a jump ball, but they switched the foul to DFS.

Brunson also had 6, so I should give him proper credit.

Really happy with Mikal’s performance this game. Cam J seems to have lost his rhythm tho.

Great win, beating a hot team on its home floor.
Suns made the plays in the fourth quarter.
Biyombo, who struggled early, was flawless down the stretch.
Much was made of Dallas' improved defense, but the Suns had the big D when it counted most.
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

I went back and checked, Luka had 4 in the 3rd Q, none in the 4th, but Brunson had 3 in the 4th

Mikal needs to find his shot, but he was super active and dropped a 14/8/6/4 line

TBF, the Mavs defense was quite good all game. They close out well and are physical on dribble drives.

Can’t tell how much of their faltering down the stretch has to do with the b2b situation. Otoh I don’t expect our guys to miss so many threes on a regular basis.
