Sun has set in Phoenix

Mavs crush Suns end any playoff hopes in Phoenix

This was the biggest game of the year for the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns, if the Mavericks win the Suns season is all but over, if the Suns win they have a legitimate chance to sneak into the playoffs, it looks like the sun has set Phoenix.

The Mavericks crushed the Suns 140-116 and now the Suns chances of making the playoffs are slim to none, and that is an understatement. With five games remaining in the regular season if the Suns lose one game or the Mavs win one game, Phoenix is eliminated from playoff contention.

"We're not holding our breath," Suns guard Steve Nash said.

The Mavs now have a chance to do what they have been wanting to do for a while now and that is move up to the seventh seed to avoid a first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavs have a chance to do that when they play the seventh seed Utah Jazz at home on Wednesday.
