Kevin Durant's jumper lifts Suns over Mavs as sparks fly late

DALLAS -- Kevin Durant's tiebreaking jumper was like so many before -- right on target in the closing seconds.

Luka Doncic's potential tying floater moments later in front of the rim was unlike most of his -- spinning around and out.

What happened next was familiar -- a little bad blood from last season's playoff series spilling, with Doncic and Devin Booker nose-to-nose before getting double technical fouls.

Durant scored 37 points, including the go-ahead shot, to lift the Phoenix Suns to a 130-126 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday in a thrilling showcase of stars for both teams.
