We may win this series but I now believe this team isn’t tough enough to win a title.

Bridges, Booker, Ayton, Paul all kind of acting like they are too cool to try very hard.

Suns can't get inside on Dallas and they have the size at center.

Ayton is only allowing 38% FG on Luka. “That’s a good matchup for Doncic.” WTF dude

Eh, it's not even really like the Mavericks are putting up all that much effort... they mostly look like they are moving in slow motion. The Suns just look like they don't even give a crap.

No, frankly I don’t have all night to get into the numbers but it is not simply about aggregate minutes. Playing high minutes and a bucketload of high leverage minutes in particular has shown to be very wearing even with additional time off.
He missed 17 games and averaged just under 33 minutes per game. I think you're looking for an easy explanation here and I'm not sure there is one.
