After defeating the Timberwolves on Saturday due in large part to their bench production, the Suns second unit stepped up again as the team faced off against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.
The Suns were down by as many as 12 points midway through the third quarter, but after coming back from down 15 a few nights earlier, it was no shock to see the team’s resilience. Thanks to an Alex Len dunk and a Dragan Bender three-pointer, the Suns pulled to within single-digits entering the fourth.
The newest Sun Isaiah Canaan worked his magic early in the fourth as he scored nine of the Suns first 11 points, including a three-pointer to tie the game at 79-79.
