The Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have changed a lot since they played each other in the Western Conference semifinals last year. The biggest change is that both teams made huge trades with the Brooklyn Nets last month to get superstars. One thing hasn’t changed: Devin Booker and Luka Doncic still don’t like each other very much.
