Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns
· National Basketball AssociationKevin Durant scores 31, leading the Suns past the Mavericks 114-102
The Suns never trailed after the first quarter, though the Mavericks kept the deficit in the single digits for much of the night. Luka Doncic scored 40 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Kyrie Irving added 22 points.
The Suns led 91-80 heading into the fourth quarter and extended the lead to 105-90 six minutes later. Devin Booker added 21 points while rookie Ryan Dunn scored 13 in his first career start. Tyus Jones added seven assists.
The Suns led by as many as 13 in the first half but settled for a 63-55 lead at the break.
Suns: Phoenix bounced back after blowing a 22-point lead against the Lakers on Friday night. Guards Bradley Beal (elbow) and Grayson Allen (personal) didn't play. Dunn played well in his first career start and looks like he could have been a steal with the No. 28 pick.
