Five days ago, the Suns left Phoenix with a 2-0 lead over the Mavericks and fans serenading them with chants of « Suns in Four! » But five days in the NBA playoffs is a lifetime, and after two games and two losses at American Airlines Center, the Suns could use a lifeline. Their defense weakened. Their offense stalled. And their 37-year-old point guard, Chris Paul, played like a 37-year-old. The Mavericks looked like the far better team, especially in Game 4 on Sunday. They made an astounding 14-of-24 three pointers in the first half, and when the Mavs finally cooled off in the second half, the Suns were too disjointed to take advantage.
