Refs trying to keep it close. Luka just needs to start falling on the ground like Book.

This Phoenix team hasn't allowed A SINGLE PICK-AND-ROLL. Not once did Luka play it down for either Lively or Gafford.
That's how they've set up their defense. To stop that at all costs.
They are probably converging somehow into the paint and onto the roller. And also being aggressive and making fouls to prevent any single dunk by either one of the Mavs' big men.

10 down to 10 up. I love the swing
The test will be how we can do in the clutch because they're not going away

See THJ can EXECUTE. When he just SHOOTS or DRIVES he is ok. He has problems when he has to THINK ABOUT PASSING THE BALL. He doesn't know how to do that.

Just the suns? I thought the refs are just generally biased against the Mavs.

THJ is not what we need. Literally heard this man has been shooting 31% since the trade.

It looks like that the Suns are just ALL CONVERGING INTO THE PAINT. So that the whole defensive unit gets a bit closer to the paint and thereby closing down the space in the middle. That's an interesting strategy and different from ANY ONE defensive player making a switch.

This team used to get kicked in the nuts and they'd collapse like a flan
Now Mavs can punch back

This appears like it could be a definite improvement in terms of defense for the Mavs. At least against this Suns team. There are segments of the game where they appear to close them down rather consistently.

I'm going to celebrate this win because otherwise Kidd's decision not to play Hardy over THJ would ruin an amazing night.

Great win, but these slow starts are still annoying as hell.

Thj and his terribly opinionated fsther need to move on. Hardy should be getting atxleast half THJ mins.
Great win. We all know who the real MVP is even though he doesnt stand a chance at winning it barring some ridiculous run. Kai is playing great too. Fingers crossed he stays healthy.

Tiebreaker is going to matter.
If Mavs can go 2-2 on this 4 game road trip I?m satisfied.

PJ's defense is just what I said he needed to do...and is doing it. The fact that he gives you a few points is just icing because that D is sick.
