Game 2 prediction:
The Phoenix Suns looked a lot like the No. 1 overall seed as they made relatively easy work of the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, holding on for a 121-114 win in Game 1 of their second-round series. Game 2 is set for Wednesday night in Phoenix.
Just 14 seconds into the game, Chris Paul hit a mid-range jumper to give the Suns a lead they would never surrender.
It took less than five minutes for them to push their advantage to double digits, which is where it would remain for most of the game.
Pick:
The Phoenix Suns came out smoking hot, kept shooting at a 60% clip for 3.5 quarters and kept a huge lead all game over the Dallas Mavericks.
After taking a 21-point lead with about 8 minutes left in the game, the Suns coasted to a 121-114 victory by riding out the fourth quarter despite some cold shooting.
Still, the Mavericks did not give up and made the game a bit closer as the Suns starters had lost all that mojo. They came back in with 8 minutes left and a 16-point lead, but allowed the Mavericks to cut the lead from 16 to 6. In the final seconds, they got it down to 5.
