One of the best series we all witnessed in this year's playoffs went down in the second round between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns. After a hard-fought seven-game war, it was the Mavs who prevailed, en route to booking their spot in the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
As it turns out, Luka Doncic and the Mavs got some help from Miami Heat veteran PJ Tucker, who incidentally, suited up for the Suns a few years back.
