Dallas is on its worst streak of the season with five consecutive defeats and eight in the last 10 meetings. The Texas team, which was 6-4, is now third-place finish in the Western Conference at 8-12.
In spite of everything, the feelings after losing to the Suns were different from the last loss to the Jazz, when Doncic claimed “never to have had this feeling. It seems to give us all the same “. At the end of the match against Phoenix, the point guard assured the effort had been “great. I think we had a bit of bad luck. We again had like five to six open shots that did not go in. We have to work on that, but I am very proud of how we react with our effort “.
Coach Rick Carlisle was equally “delighted with our attitude towards the game. I’m really sad for the team. on the cusp of the difficulty of our calendar and it is important that we stay in the fight, we continue to play as we did tonight. We have to stem the tide. It’s a very difficult time, but we are going to stay and we are going to continue fighting. “
