Devin Booker was unstoppable offensively and led the Phoenix Suns to an easy win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 (80-110).
The All-Star guard went for a team-high 28 points, on 11/20 shooting, and 7 rebounds. For his part, DeAndre Ayton added 20 points and nine boards for the winners.
On the other hand, Luka Doncic had 28 points for the losing squad, on 10/23 shooting and 2/8 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed 11 rebounds, but dished only 2 assists. Jalen Brunson posted 21 points (9/17 shooting) off the bench for Dallas.
After a hard-fought battle in the first half (46-49), Phoenix took over. With Devin Booker leading the way, the Suns outscored the Mavs 34-61 in the rest of the game and cruised to the victory.
With the Suns leading 3-2, the series now moves back to Dallas for Game 6 on Thursday. If the Mavs win, they will force a Game 7 on Sunday, May 15. If Phoenix wins, though, they will close out the series and advance to the Western Conference Finals.
