There has been a budding rivalry between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker ever since the 2022 playoffs, where Devin Booker infamously trash talked the Mavs star but got humbled as the 5-time All-Star got the last laugh, blowing out the Suns in game 7 and stating that “everyone acting tough when they up”.
The battle continued tonight and once again, it was Luka and the Dallas Mavericks that came out on top over the Phoenix Suns 123-113 at American Airlines Center.

Co-star Kyrie Irving helped out his teammate, finishing with 29 points on 5 made triples. To add more fuel to this fire, Uncle Drew played against his former Nets teammate Kevin Durant, as things didn’t go as planned in Brooklyn.
For Phoenix, Devin Booker had a team high 35 points and 8 assists but it wasn’t enough to get the job done. KD finished with 23 points while Eric Gordon got the start for the injured Bradley Beal and he ended with 16 points with 4 made three pointers.
This win improves the Mavericks to33-23, which makes them 6th in the Western Conference and giving them the tiebreaker over the Suns. Dallas is 8-2 over their last 10 games and currently on a 7-game winning streak. Their next game will be on Sunday evening against the Indiana Pacers.
On the flip side, this loss drops Phoenix to 33-23 and making them stand at the 7th seed in the Western Conference. They are 7-3 over their last 10 games and their next game will be tomorrow night against the Houston Rockets where they’ll look to turn things around.
