NBA The Slovenian does not hit the triple final to give the victory to the Mavs
Dgunmen in Texas in less than two seconds and from which a ‘killer’ as Devin Booker is right with his triple with 1.6 seconds remaining and gave the victory (108-109) to the Phoenix Suns on his visit to the Dallas Mavericks. A ‘shot’ that he couldn’t respond to Luka Doncic who had a last bullet with six tenths to go, but whose ‘shot’ did not hit the target.
The Slovenian star could not hide his frustration after the triple failed what does the Sixth consecutive loss for Dallas Mavericks that do not seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel and that they already sign a balance of eight wins and 12 losses (2-6 at home) and begin to see themselves move away from the playoff positions.
The Texans improved their image with respect to the last meetings. Especially in defense (had received an average of 119.3 points in the previous five defeats) where they were able to contain the Suns. Especially the first two sets. However, it all faded in the last quarter when the Arizonans scored 32 points and were able to overcome a difference of -11 in the last five minutes of the crash.
Chris Paul was the main architect of the Suns victory (11-8) with 34 points (14 of 20 in field goals and four of seven in triples), nine rebounds and nine assists, while Devin Booker finished with 24 points and four triples on his private account.
For his part Doncic led the Mavericks one more night with 25 points (seven of 19 from the field and one of four from the triple), eight assists and five rebounds. On this occasion, the former Madrid player did have the help of Josh Richardson (24 points) and Porzingis (19 + 10) but it was insufficient to avoid another defeat for a team mired in a worrying crisis of game and results.
