Phoenix Suns at Dallas Mavericks
· National Basketball AssociationDevin Booker, Grayson Allen lead Suns past struggling Mavericks, 123-114
Dallas played for the first time since the Tuesday morning firing of general manager Nico Harrison, embattled since making the controversial Feb. 2 trade that sent superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dallas cut an 18-point second-half deficit to three with 1:48 left. Allen took a scoop shot down the lane with Daniel Gafford called for goaltending with 1:25 to go and made two free throws with 24.3 seconds left for a seven-point lead.
The Suns are 7-5. They have won six of seven after opening 1-4.
Klay Thompson scored 19 points in his fourth straight game off the bench, including a season-high six 3-pointers, for the Mavericks. At 3-9, they are off to their worst start through 12 games since opening 2-10 in 2017-18.
Brandon Williams scored 17 points, and Cooper Flagg had 16 for the Mavericks.
Dallas led 28-18 late in the first period before Phoenix ran off the final 12 points of the quarter
Mavericks forward P.J. Washington Jr. left midway through the first period with a left shoulder strain after scoring six points in five minutes. Dallas was without Anthony Davis, who missed his seventh consecutive game with a strained left calf, and Dereck Lively II, who missed his ninth straight game with a sprained right knee.
Mavericks: Host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
