Suns vs Mavs Game 6 Preview
Devin Booker led the Phoenix Suns to the edge of the Western Conference Finals with 28 points in a 110-80 win over Dallas on Tuesday, May 10.
The Suns now look to close out the series in Dallas on Thursday, but the Mavericks, like the Suns, haven’t lost at home.
“I guess it’s a credit to the fan bases,” Dallas guard Jalen Brunson said via NBA.com’s Michael Wright. “Our fan base is great for us. Their fan base is great for them. Home-court advantage is a real thing.”
Dallas evened the series 2-2 at home with a 103-94 win on May 6 and a 111-101 win on May May 8. Likewise, the Suns enjoyed wins by comfortable margins at home before Game 5 with a 121-114 win on May 2 to open the series and 129-109 route on May 4.
“We’ve worked our tails off to be in this position,” Suns head coach Monty Williams said via Wright. “When people say the regular season doesn’t mean anything … yeah it does. It allows for you to create this opportunity and advantage.”
THE TWINSSSSSSSSSSS! 🤩
Phoenix, the Western Conference’s top seed, will hold homecourt advantage again if the series goes to Game 7. It also means the Suns would have to beat the Mavericks for a sixth time at home this season.
Mavericks swingman Luka Doncic doesn’t see homecourt advantage as an excuse. Doncic has done his part with 32 points per game in the series.
“That wasn’t ourselves, we have to be better than that,” Doncic told the media about Game 5 via Sports Illustrated’s Dallas Basketball. “We’re okay, we have all the confidence. It’s always nice to play at home with our fans. It’s going to be hard, especially against this team, [but] we gotta believe.”
The Mavericks will need to find an answer for Booker, who finished fourth in MVP voting. Booker has averaged 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in the series.
Dallas will also need more than Doncic going for 30, which hearkens back to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s postgame comments after Game 2.
“We’ve got to get other guys shooting the ball better,” Kidd said via ESPN’s Tim McMahon. “We can’t win with just him out there scoring 30 a night — not at this time of the year. And we’re playing the best team in the league, so we’ve got to get other guys going.”
