Dallas Mavericks bounce back, trim Phoenix Suns' lead to 2-1, but know they 'can't be satisfied'
DALLAS — Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic felt that he let his teammates down with what he accurately described as a «horrible» defensive effort during the second half of a Game 2 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Mavericks get defensive, top Suns for 2-1 series deficit

Doncic apabulla a Chris Paul y los Mavs sueñan con la remontada
Gana Doncic, ganan los Mavericks. Primera victoria de la eliminatoria para el equipo de Texas, que ganó ante su público un partido muy típico de playoffs: vuelta a casa, apoyo tremendo de la afición, mucho acierto en medio de la fantasía y un ambiente sobrecogedor para un rival muy fallón. Con los deberes hechos, será el cuarto asalto el que decantará una eliminatoria que pueden casi sentenciar los Suns, o dar una emoción extra e inesperada los Mavs. De momento, 2-1 y menos de 48 horas para un nuevo desafío (mañana a las 21:30, hora española), en uno de los partidos, objetivamente, más importantes de la historia reciente de la entidad de la que es dueño Mark Cuban. Y un tiempo pequeño para disfrutar del buen sabor de boca que deja un encuentro dominado desde la defensa, en el que han tenido ventaja desde el primer cuarto y en el que todos han estado involucrados.
