The Phoenix Suns travel to Dallas to take on the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. Phoenix currently leads the series 2-1.
The Suns will rely on Chris Paul to carry the workload along with Devin Booker. They were by far the best regular season team in the league and will be hoping to replicate their form in Games 4 and 5. The star guards will look to take their team one step further and win the championship this year.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks will need to put in the kind of performance they showcased in Game 3. They cannot afford to drop Game 4 at home.
Led by superstar Luka Dončić, the Mavericks will need the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie and others to help out their talisman in order to win this game.
This should be a very exciting game as it is a must-win for the Mavericks. Failing to do so will give the Suns an opportunity to close out the series at home.
