Biyombo is probably an even better hardship pickup than Chriss. Still a force on defense and next to CP3 he is getting some easy points in the paint.

KP with 2 good shots that unfortunately didnt go in.
JGreen finally!!

Suns going all out to attack KP in the pick and roll. Mavs need to find a better solution. Giving up switches and open midrange shots works against other teams. Not against Booker and CP3.

KRISTAPS WITH THE D AND THE OOP!
AND THEN THE 3!

So far the showing action has been working. Sure it's conceded maybe 7 or 8 open mid range shots, but the other prong of PHX attack, the 3, has been stifled.

I think it could work if KP can hedge a little bit higher as long as the involved onball defender is able to stay attached to the ballhandler.

A Luka-KP two-man game? Looking promising.

Mavs need to start finding their bigs that are shadowing the baseline. If DFS kept attacking instead of kicking it out there was a lob to KP right there.
WOW BRUNSON!
He broke down Mikal Bridges there!!

We are not worthy Luka...
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-20-2022
HOLY CRAP LUKA!

That might be the most baller end to a Dallas Mavericks first half I have ever witnessed.

Nice.

The childish joy is back and it brought his new friend defense.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-20-2022
I love how he just ran off the court and through the tunnel like it was nothing.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - dirkfansince1998 - 01-20-2022
Best part was KP celebrating before the ball had left Luka´s hand.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-20-2022
I was about to say how tired the Mavs looked and that they played a great half. Then Luka goes super saiyan.

I was seriously confused, when I read he was an UFA until the Suns picked him up. Guess the problem is that Biyombo is a winning veteran roleplayer and half the league have no use for those, even if they would improve their team. Even teams chasing the play-in are still focusing on young player development many times.

Porzingis continues to show why I am vindicated for supporting him through all of the tough times since he has been here.

Also glad I never doubted Powell's perimeter defense
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-20-2022
Super glad @"SleepingHero" sold me all of his land on Porzingis island for super cheap a few months back!
