The Phoenix Suns worked the Dallas Mavericks late Thursday night, grabbing their fifth win of the season 99-88. T.J. Warren poured in 30 for the Suns, while Harrison Barnes was the high point man for Dallas in a weak effort.
Dallas opened the game sloppy, with back to back turnovers, trying to force passes to DeAndre Jordan like he was Kendrick Perkins on the 2009 Celtics. Yet, with the Suns being bad at basketball this season, the Mavericks didn’t pay for these early mistakes and took an early lead through the passing of Luka Doncic.
