Suns wallop Mavericks behind opportunistic defense to take commanding series lead

The Phoenix Suns went from ‘could be a dominating sweep!’ to ‘could be a devastating early playoff exit’ to ‘bring on the Warriors in the Conference Finals!’ in the span of five short days.

Five of the Suns six playoff series over the past two seasons have gone six games. The Denver Nuggets series was a four game sweep, but all of the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, Pelicans and now Dallas Mavericks series have gone (at least) six games.

Of those five long series, the Suns were tied 2-2 in four them.
