Coming into the game without Christian Wood, who is expected to be out at least another week with a thumb injury, things started about as badly as could be imagined. Just three minutes after tipoff, Luka Doncic came down on the foot of a Suns player and sprained his ankle. He was ruled out for the game, though x-rays were negative.
In his absence, Spenser Dinwiddie took it upon himself to play the role of the designated flamethrower, going for 36 points on 10-of-18 shooting to go along with an 11-of-14 night at the line. He led all scorers.
