Basketball enthusiasts are in for a holiday treat as the Phoenix Suns gear up to face off against the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day, setting the stage for one of the most riveting rivalries in the NBA—Devin Booker versus Luka Doncic.
While the beginning of this feud can be up for discussion, it really took off during the 2022 Western Conference Semifinals.
Following a phenomenal regular season for the Suns, culminating in a franchise-record 64 wins, their journey to the NBA Finals was seemingly unstoppable.
But Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks had other plans.
Heading back to the Footprint Center in Phoenix, trailing in the series 3-2, Luka led the Mavs with back-to-back 30+ point games, ultimately sending his team to the Western Conference Finals.
