Luka Doncic, Dorian Finney-Smith lead Mavericks to Game 4 win vs. Suns

The Western Conference semifinals between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns has now become a best-of-three series after the host Mavs took care of the top seed 111-101 on Sunday. Luka Doncic had a team-high 26 points in the win, but struggled from the field (9-of-25, 1-of-10 on three-pointers), but he added 11 assists, seven rebounds and four steals in the balanced effort.

Dorian Finney-Smith erupted for 24 points — going 8-of-12 from distance — to help the cause, and contributed a team-high eight rebounds as well. In the defeat, Devin Booker poured in a game-best 35 points, but was missing his backcourt mate in Chris Paul for stretches of the second half, as the future Hall of Famer dealt with foul trouble all day.

Paul ended up finishing with only five points on four field-goal attempts and fouled out early in the fourth quarter.
