After the first six matches where both the teams have looked evenly matched coming into Game-7, the seventh game was nothing but a reminder for all the NBA world that what a powerful team Mavericks are and that this year belongs to Luka Doncic. The tie at last ended in favour of the Mavericks who made yet another statement with their brilliant display on Sunday night to comeback in this hotly contested playoff tie. The match was never quite close as the Mavericks took a big lead right from the very first quarter and kept on increasing their lead as the quarters passed and it was always a huge task for the Suns to comeback even though they managed to pick up 40 points. Another man who had a great game was the man from the bench Spencer Dinwiddie who supported Doncic everlessly and notched up 30 points as the match ended 90-123.
The match was pretty much one sided from the very first minute of the match as the Mavericks dismantled the Suns completely throughout the entire match. The Mavericks came back brilliantly after suffering a defeat in Game-5 game and won it fair and square last night by 33 points. Luka Doncic put everything into the match and was completely unstoppable and sensational having picked up 35 points and saving the year and giving his team chance to continue fighting for the title.
