The Phoenix Suns defeated the Dallas Mavericks 123–114 on November 12 at the American Airlines Center, with Devin Booker leading Phoenix's offense with 26 points and Grayson Allen adding 23 in a balanced scoring attack. The Suns' defense proved decisive, holding Dallas to a 109.1 offensive rating while posting a 116.7 defensive rating themselves; Phoenix also forced 13 steals and committed just 12 turnovers compared to Dallas's 19 miscues. Dallas shot efficiently from three-point range, making 17 triples on 50% overall field-goal shooting, but Klay Thompson (19 points) and B. Williams (17 points) couldn't overcome Phoenix's second-quarter surge—the Suns outscored the Mavericks 33–25 in that frame to establish control. The Mavericks' fourth-quarter push (33 points) fell short despite the late run, as Phoenix's 46 rebounds and 31 assists showcased their ball movement and rebounding advantage. The Suns' road victory strengthens their conference positioning while Dallas faces questions about defensive consistency.
