Game recap. 
Soon after the opening, Durant and Booker combined to play a wave of 8-0 offense, and then Irving hit a three-point shot to open the gap for the Mavericks, then Doncic and Levley scored successively, and then extended the lead to double digits again, but under Irving's leadership, the Mavericks only completed the start of the first quarter by one point. In the second quarter, with Booker's help, the Suns led by 11 points at one point, but then Doncic started his heads-up and pulled the score to three points.
In the second quarter, Doncic and Washington made four consecutive three-pointers to pull the difference back, Green and Liver's consecutive goals allowed the Mavericks to continue to maintain the lead, and the Suns, only Booker was still holding on, at the end of the third quarter, the Suns fell behind by 5 points, entering the second quarter, Durant's state is still good, but in front of Washington, Durant is not playing very well, on the contrary, Doncic and Irving have the absolute upper hand! They were at their best and led the team to a 123-113 victory over the Suns for seven wins.
Durant is in trouble, Booker is desperate.
After talking about this game, let's talk about the performance of the players, the Suns bought a good contract from David Roddy and Royce O'Neal in order to strengthen the team, but Vogel did not want to use Roddy, and Royce O'Neal also showed his strength, he shot 4 of 12, 2 of 8 from 3 points and got 10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Durant's strength is very strong, but if he doesn't retain his strength in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter, he will retire because of exhaustion, this game, he was ground to death by Washington with his body, but in the end, Durant shot 2 of 22 and only got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, he has been trapped, Durant is still the strongest player in the league, but he is no longer in the top three.
Booker played very well, 13 of 21 shots, 2 of 6 3-pointers, 35 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block, fans who follow the Suns know that Booker's scoring is very high, but his heads-up ability is not strong, and he is not even as good as Durant, and most importantly, Booker shot 13 of 21, 2 of 6 3-pointers, scored 35 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block. He made 2-of-3 shooting from 13 shots and finished with 35 points, five rebounds and eight assists.
In addition, Grayson Allen scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Gordon had 16 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and Okogie had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. The Suns are currently in the grind and they haven't fully played yet, but when Beal, Thaddeus Young, and Damian Lee return, the full team will be even better.
Owen eventually discovers his ideal partner.
Irving and Doncic have led the Mavericks to seven wins, and the cooperation between them is already very good, it can be said that the combination of Irving and Doncic is much stronger than the combination of Durant and Irving, which is not to say that Doncic's strength must surpass Durant, but Doncic and Irving cooperate much better, Doncic's role is much greater, and Irving can focus on the lethality of a person.
In this battle, Irving shot 11 of 18, 5 of 8 three-pointers, scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and Irving fully supported Dong Qi and let him make full use of his advantages - compared to when he and Durant were two people, Irving is simply as bright as the sun, but after all, this is a five-person sport, counting on the two top superstars to be able to make a name for themselves in the playoffs, but it is not much different.
Doncic is like a player with absolute dominance, just like James at the best of times, James and Irving are a good partner, and Doncic and Irving's partner is also better than Booker or Durant, after all, they are both scoring machines. In this game, Doncic played very well, 14 of 27 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 41 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks, with the current situation, the MVP of this game should belong to Doncic.
By the time Dallas got Washington and Gafford in front of them, the team had risen to a new level and they haven't lost a single game in this game! Speaking of which, what do you guys think of the current Mavericks and the Sun? Please leave your comments here.
