The Dallas Mavericks thought they had a sure win against the Suns on Dec. 13. Phoenix continues to free fall in the fight for the second consecutive first overall draft pick. Before the game with Dallas, the Suns lost ten consecutive contests.
They added another problem with the absence of Devin Booker. All the more surprising that Phoenix defeated the Mavericks for the second time in the season. Now 40 percent of the Suns’ victories this season are wins over Dallas.
Both defeats have objective reasons. The first happened in the opening game of the season.
