Spencer Dinwiddie had his way with the Suns to lead the Mavericks to a 99-95 win at Footprint Center.
Spencer Dinwiddie cooked the Suns, too, in helping end their special season.
So while Doncic only played the first three games of the latest Dallas-Phoenix matchup, Dinwiddie once again had his way with the Suns, scoring 36 points and dishing out nine assists to lead the Mavericks to a 99-95 win before a sellout crowd of 17,071 at Footprint Center. Hitting 5-of-6 from 3, Dinwiddie banked one off the glass over Deandre Ayton to put Dallas ahead, 95-86, with 3:32 left in the game as Suns coach Monty Williams called a timeout.The Suns cut that nine-point deficit to one on a Chris Paul layup with 19.7 seconds left. After a Dallas timeout, the Suns eventually forced the ball out of Dinwiddie's hands and fouled Reggie Bullock with 12 seconds left.
Bullock made the first, missed the second, but Deandre Ayton mishandled the rebound and Dwight Powell tracked it down near the baseline. Fouled by Ayton, Powell, a career 74.9% free throw shooter, made both with 9.8 seconds left.
