tyus time - no turnovers - keep the lead

 

[BirdGangThing]

this is usually when we literally drop the ball - in comes tyus jones to make sure that doesn't happen

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns could use a basket about now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic got the ball. The question is if the referees call body contact.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Nurkic got the ball. The question is if the referees call body contact.

Yeah, I doubt they reverse it but they shouldn't have called it in the first place.

 

[Phrazbit]

O’Neale has played well, but I’d like to see Dunn rewarded for how well he’s played tonight.

Let him close it out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Suns win the challenge.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Yeah, I doubt they reverse it but they shouldn't have called it in the first place.

And there's a surprise.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Booker fouled shooting a three.

 

[Mainstreet]

I see good Nurkic showed up tonight.

 

[TJ]

We feeling better now?

 

[TJ]

Doncic just became BBQ chicken by Durant

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 114 - Mavericks 102

 

[Mainstreet]

A big sigh of relief after the win.

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns get blown out in this game? This forum will melt down.

I am so glad the Suns forum didn't have to melt down.

14-39 on threes, 35.9%. We came back to earth on threes after shooting 55% over the last two games.

It’s always great to beat the Mavericks

 

[Yuma]

A big sigh of relief after the win.

This was way better tonight than the first two games, and it was the Mavs!

 

[AzStevenCal]

We won, Doncic lost. Do we get extra credit for the twofer?

14-39 on threes, 35.9%. We came back to earth on threes after shooting 55% over the last two games.

Yeah but off shooting night short handed and beat a healthy Dallas team that has seemed to own us the last few years! Great win and held the lead and control basically throughout every time they got close we go on a little run… impressive win!

 

[Chaplin]

14-39 on threes, 35.9%. We came back to earth on threes after shooting 55% over the last two games.

We obviously want to hit them, but having 38+ attempts usually means good things.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns did a good job of minimizing the Mavericks other two starters and rotation players.

 

[Resin07]

Nice to see Dunn 3-6 on threes

 

[Yuma]

Dunn 21 minutes 5-8, 3-6 from 3. 13 points. This Kid plays the defense he is playing and shoots like that! He's coming for your minutes Royce!! LOL!
