There was after a scuffle in the second frame as a triple technical was called on Grant Williams, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkic. In the third quarter, Nurkic and Williams had contact again, which prompted another technical and Nurkic’s ejection.
Another ejection was called as Doncic was heckled aggressively by a Suns fan. He pointed towards the stands and the fan was later escorted outside of the court.
The Suns pulled away in the third quarter when Booker scored 22 of his 46 points, giving his squad a comfortable 20-point lead entering the last quarter.

Doncic’s 34-point showing for the Mavericks was unable to stop the Suns from capitalizing on their offense all the way until the last minutes of the match.
Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen helped out Booker with 20 and 15 points respectively while Durant had 12 points and 10 boards. The Mavs missed their All-Star guard Kyrie Irving but Tim Hardaway Jr. stepped up with 17 points.
