Game of the Night

Despite missing Luka Doncic for the second straight game against the Suns in Phoenix, the Mavericks put up quite the fight. 

In a game with 19 lead changes, Dallas was led by a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double by Kristaps Porzingis but they couldn't stop the streaking Suns. 

Phoenix extended their win streak to 11 games with this 112-104 victory. Six players scored in double figures, led by 19 from Devin Booker while Chris Paul stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, 14 assists, five rebounds and three steals.

Performance of the Night

After a slow start to the season, James Harden has been making huge strides towards reaching the standard of play that we associate with him. 

He stuffed the stat sheet against the Magic, helping the Nets flip a 19-point deficit into a win. 

He wasn't necessarily efficient in this game but attempted as many as 20 free-throws, the most in his career with the Nets.
