The Mavericks are just surviving until the All-Star break

Deron Williams saved Dallas on Friday against the Suns -- and that's all the team's trying to do until the All-Star break arrives, anyway.

Dirk Nowitzki was out for the game to rest. Neither Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews could find their shot. With the miserable Suns in Dallas on Sunday, the responsibility of escaping with a win -- no matter how ugly -- fell to Deron Williams.

He delivered. The Mavericks entered the fourth quarter down three points and finally clawed back ahead, outscoring the Suns 23-9 in the final frame.
