Luka Doncic and the Mavericks rebounded from a blowout loss to handle the Suns 113-86 and send the series back to Phoenix for one final game.

The Suns outscored the Mavs 33-14 in the third quarter to break the game open and cruise to 110-80 win that puts them one game from the West finals.

Monty Williams led Phoenix Suns to league-best 64-18 record this season, his third as team’s head coach. He received 81 of 100 first-place votes.

The fans involved in Sunday’s incident with Chris Paul’s family will be banned from Dallas games “until 2023,” the Mavericks announced.

Dallas scored 22 points off 17 Phoenix turnovers to help secure a 103-94 win in Game 3 that cut the Suns’ series lead to 2-1.

Phoenix outscored Dallas 40-26 in the fourth quarter to break open the game on the way to a rout and 2-0 series lead.

Despite a game-high 45 points from Luka Doncic, the Phoenix Suns cruised to victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of their playoff series.

Phoenix Suns return home tied 2-2 after losing Game 4 Sunday in New Orleans as the Pelicans attempted 42 free throws while the Suns only attempted 15.

Devin Booker has been ruled out for Game 3, with his status for the rest of the Suns-Pelicans series uncertain.

Phoenix lost more than just Game 2 of its first round series as Devin Booker sat out the entire fourth quarter of the loss with hamstring tightness.
