The Phoenix Suns have been on a roll lately, and their win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday was no exception. Led by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the Suns were able to pull off a thrilling 130-126 victory. Durant had an incredible game, scoring 37 points on 12-of-17 shooting, while also grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out seven assists. Booker also had a great game, scoring 36 points on 15-of-25 shooting, while also adding five rebounds and 10 assists. The two of them became the first Suns teammates to score 35+ points since Booker and T.J. Warren in 2017.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows throughout the first half. The Mavericks got the better of the officials' whistles and Tim Hardaway Jr. caught fire from deep. The second half was a wild ride punctuated by a lot of scoring from all four major superstars. With the game tied at 126-126, Durant drove down the left side with less than fifteen seconds to play and rose up over the 6’5 Hardaway Jr. to bury a two point bucket with 11 seconds left, putting the Suns up 128-126. Durant was fouled and hit two free throws to put the Suns up by four. Doncic missed a chip shot that rolled off the rim and was grabbed by Durant, ending the game.

The Suns have been on a roll lately, and this win over the Mavericks was a testament to their team chemistry and the incredible performances of Durant and Booker. With the win, the Suns moved to 36-29, while the Mavericks fell to 33-32. The Suns will look to continue their winning streak as they face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
