DALLAS — Devin Booker and Chris Paul arrived for Game 6 in American Airlines Center dressed in nearly all black, other than Paul’s red sneakers and Booker’s silver necklace.
Appropriate attire, Phoenix’s All-Star backcourt evidently figured, for the Mavericks’ 2021-22 season burial. Oops.
It’s hyperbole to suggest that the Reggie Bullock-led Mavericks defense sent the Suns home mourning the thought of a Sunday Game 7 they probably hadn’t fathomed a week ago when leading 2-0, but perhaps Dallas’ 27-point win cast a different kind of pall.
