The Phoenix Suns held off the Dallas Mavericks 112-107 in an NBA matchup, earning a five-point win behind efficient shooting and timely scoring. Phoenix finished 28-of-56 from the field (50.0%) and leaned heavily on perimeter production, knocking down 14 three-pointers on 35 attempts. Dallas stayed within striking distance by moving the ball well (27 assists) and nearly matching Phoenix on the glass (44 rebounds), but couldn’t quite close the gap late. Brooks Dillon led all scorers with 28 points for Phoenix, providing the primary offensive engine throughout the night and helping the Suns maintain control during key stretches. While Phoenix’s scoring was paced by Dillon, the Suns also got contributions elsewhere, including 9 points from Goodwin Jordan and 4 points from K. Maluach. As a team, Phoenix recorded 20 assists, pairing solid ball movement with strong shot-making from deep. Dallas shot 24-of-54 overall (44.0%) and hit 13-of-36 from three, keeping the game competitive with perimeter shooting and a higher assist total than Phoenix. However, the Mavericks’ lower overall field-goal efficiency proved costly in a game decided by a single possession or two in the final minutes. Phoenix’s ability to convert at a higher rate—especially from three—ultimately provided the margin. Going forward, the Suns can point to balanced execution—efficient shooting, a slight rebounding edge (46-44), and a go-to scorer in Dillon—as a winning formula in close games. For the Mavericks, the playmaking (27 assists) was a positive indicator, but improving finishing efficiency and getting more consistent stops against three-point-heavy attacks will be key in similar tight contests.
