Home court has not been broken yet, but every single Game 5 in the playoffs is always a different animal than the first four games. Following their Game 3 and Game 4 victories, the Mavericks own all the momentum heading into Tuesday night’s showdown.
Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks game 6 live On Sunday, everything went wrong for the Suns from foul calls to missing open shots, while everything that could have gone right for the Mavericks went right.
Luka Doncic did not need to have a heroic performance for his team to win and Dorian Finney-Smith looks like the hottest player in this series right now after shooting 8-12 from three-point range in Game 4.
The Suns look frazzled and very frustrated right now after not getting any of the foul calls they wanted down in Dallas, so it will be very interesting to see how this veteran team responds.
Championship teams are always built-in games following a loss and Phoenix is not just an ordinary team. This group won 64 games during the regular season and Monty Williams was just recently named the NBA’s Coach of the Year, so if we know anything, it is that this group is going to be extremely motivated for Game 5.
