I thought we were going to pull off the upset and get away with two wins in Dallas but the Mavs recovered well in the last minutes of the 4th quarter. Unlike the first game, the Mavs pulled together and shut the door on the Suns when they needed it to.

The majority of the game, they went back and forth, each opening up a lead just to let the other team get back into the game. I thought the Mavs played a little better but without any sense of urgency, as if it was just another regular season game. I liked our chances to pull of the victory, given the score was so close leading into the last few minutes of the game, when they usually out play their oponents.

Unlike game one, the Mavs took control of the game and capitalized on their possessions. To make things worse, the Suns could not score from behind the line in their attempt to close the gap. The series comes to Phoenix on Sunday.
