Devin Booker scored 17 points in the last five minutes to close out the game to MVP chants, and the Phoenix Suns exorcised a few opening night demons.
Booker led the Suns as Point Book from the 5-minute mark, and helped (led) the Suns to a convincing victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
The Suns won their opener 121-100 behind great games from all over the team.
Top pick Deandre Ayton finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and a whopping six assists — two more than Luka Doncic of the Mavericks. Trevor Ariza hounded Doncic all game, and scored 21 of his own points, while grabbing 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
