Suns vs Mavericks
Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks get it done vs the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix was really sloppy in this game and did not come prepared. Between Chris Paul and Devin Booker they had twelve turnovers, which is unacceptable if they want to close out this series. Luka had a great game with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, Jalen Brunson also came to play with a game high 28 points and shooting 7-7 from the free throw line. Five different Dallas players had double digits including Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson, Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kebler.
Sunday we’ll see if Phoenix has a bounce back game which I think will happen, Chris Paul isn’t at the age of having a good game every night but Paul has a good game for every bad game so if that’s the case game four on Sunday he’ll have a good game, Devin Booker also struggled only having 18 points which is not great for him.
Heat vs 76ers
Despite Jimmy Butler’s 33 point game the Miami heat still got blown out 79-99 but are still leading the series 2-1, Joel Embiid made his series debut last night having a cool double double in his return {18 points and 11 rebounds} in 36 minutes. Danny Green had a phenomenal game finishing with 21 points shooting 7-9 from three, even though Joel Embiid didn’t have a crazy game, Sixers players like James Harden and Tyrese Maxey had good games as well finishing with 21 for Maxey and 17, 8 and 6 from James Harden.
Besides Jimmy Butler the rest of the Heat team didn’t come to play, besides Butler the second highest scoring player on Miami was Tyler Herro with 14 points which is unacceptable, no other players on the Heat scored in double digits, Kyle Lowry returned to the starting lineup but didn’t score any points in his 25 minutes of playing time. I think the Heat will have a bounce back game.
