The Phoenix Suns have stepped up when the lights have been the brightest this season as they were 2-0 on nationally televised games heading into Thursday’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on TNT.
The Suns defeated the Mavericks on opening night this season and looked to make it seven-straight victories over Dallas.
T.J. Warren helped lead the Suns to a hot start as he scored 11 points in his first seven minutes on the court. By halftime, Tony Buckets already had 19 points and, thanks to a Mikal Bridges buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Suns took a 50-40 lead into the break.
