PHOENIX – In the NBA, you got to have weapons.
And that’s particularly true when the defenses get tougher in the playoffs. And even more pronounced when you are playing the team that dominated the league in the regular season.
What the Phoenix Suns did in Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Mavericks is show that Jason Kidd’s group is a little shy on gun powder these days.
When a good defensive team puts their mind to it, they can stop everybody else in a Mavericks’ uniform and live with the numbers Luka Don\u010di\u0107 rolls up.
And those numbers can be prodigious – 45 points in Game 1, 35 in the 129-109 loss in Game 2 on Wednesday.
