I do not know what it is about Dallas, but the Phoenix Suns just simply cannot win there this postseason.
The good news for them is that Game 7 is on their home floor, but what is it about Dallas?

Compared to shooting 54.3% from the floor and 42.4% from three-point range at home, the Suns have shot just 43.7% from the floor and 39.4% from three-point range on the road in this series.
One of the biggest reasons the Suns lost Game 6 in Dallas was not because their offense struggled, it was because they let their emotions get the best of them.
Not only did this result in Dallas taking advantage of the Suns defensively, but it also resulted in Phoenix having careless turnovers possession after possession.
Luka Doncic is a terrific, generational-type of talent and Jalen Brunson is a perfect complimentary guard for the Mavericks to have
but the two key reasons they have extended this series to seven games is because of their defense and the play of Spencer Dinwiddie.
Starting with their defense, Dallas has held the fifth-best scoring offense in the league this year under 100 points twice in this series and they held them to just 101 points another time.
