The Dallas Mavericks got pummeled by the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night, losing Game 2 on the road 129-109. Chris Paul put on an amazing performance, pouring in 28 points, grabbing six rebounds, and dishing eight assists. Luka Doncic led Dallas with 35 in defeat.
The game opened exactly like Game 1, with Mavericks looking somewhat shell-shocked and the Suns jumping out to a quick 9-0 lead. Luka Doncic singlehandedly kept Dallas in the game, along with some solid shooting from Reggie Bullock, but the Suns punished the Mavericks on both ends. Both Jalen Brunson and Dorian Finney-Smith got into early foul trouble, with the latter picking up three in just nine minutes.
