What an ugly, foul-filled game. It was really in the balance, as close as 89-86 early in the fourth, but then Chris Paul decided to take over the game for the Phoenix Suns like he’s done so many times in his career and for the fourth time in this playoffs alone.
He made shots, got assists, a steal and suddenly the Mavericks were down 17 and wondering what the hell happened.
CHRIS PAUL HAPPENED. Paul had 14 points, 2 assists and a steal in the first six minutes of the fourth as the Suns lead ballooned from 7 to 17.
