The Dallas Mavericks fell to 3-5 in the Orlando Bubble, losing to the Phoenix Suns, 128-102. It was their final regular season game of the 2019-20 season.
Dallas entered this game already knowing they’d be playing the Clippers, while the Suns were fighting for their playoff lives. Entering as an 8.5 point favorite, it seemed as if everyone expected Phoenix to take advantage of a Dallas team without their starting center.
Devin Booker, who will likely be named Bubble MVP, had a remarkable game from the tip. He scored 14 points in his first 11 minutes, leading his team to an 11 point lead after the first quarter.
