Devin Booker and De Andre Ayrton
Playing for the first time in this month, Devin Booker returns for the Phoenix Suns to hit a game winning 3-pointer as his team gets past Dallas Mavericks for the second-straight game. Chris Paul scored his season-high 34 points. Whereas De’Andre Ayrton scored his 7th double-double in last 8 games. Booker struck a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds remaining on the clock. But those precious seconds were of no use for the Mavs who have now lost 6 games in a row.
Donic led the Mavericks with 25 points. However, he was trusted by his team to take a buzzer beating shot. But it did not fruit well for the Slovenian on this particular occasion. Josh Richardson scored season-high 24 points. While Porzingis managed to put 19 points against his name.
The return of Maxi Kleber after missing 11 games in the health and safety protocols gave Dallas a full roster without any injury designations for the first time since December 4, 2019, a span of 425 days.
