It's a good feeling to wake up to. Luka Doncic scored 35 points, Spencer Dinwiddie added 30, and the top-seeded Phoenix Suns had no response.
PHOENIX — It was no surprise when Luka Doncic looked ready for Game 7, calmly draining his first three shots to give the Dallas Mavericks an early lead.Doncic scored 35 points, Spencer Dinwiddie added 30 and the Mavericks blitzed the Suns with a 123-90 knockout Sunday night, advancing to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2011.
“We played all season to be in this situation,” Suns guard Chris Paul said. “It didn’t work out for us.”“I can’t get this smile off my face,” Doncic said. “I’m just really happy. Honestly, I think we deserved this.” “That group has a lot of character and integrity and I know how bad they wanted it,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “We just could not execute tonight. Couldn’t make a shot early, that messed with us a little bit and Dallas played their tails of from start to finish.”The series might have been close but the individual games usually were not. Three of the first six games were decided by at least 20 points and none of the games came down to the final possession.
They became the eighth pair of teammates to score 30 points in a Game 7, the first since Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant in 2002. “You could see some of the pressure was on them early,” Kidd said. “They missed some shots they normally make.”
