"It was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. Paul, who had previously been the president of the National Basketball Players Association, said the NBA liked to fine players for lashing out at fans but said fans were allegedly allowed to put their hands on players' family members. Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul raised eyebrows Sunday with a tweet about fans harassing his family during the team’s playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks.

If the Suns can’t create shots for their non-star players, then they’re never going to force Dallas away from its show coverage, which means they’ll continue to struggle to force switches onto Dončić. There were only five instances in Game 4 where Dončić was Booker or Paul’s primary defender; he essentially never had to guard them. The Mavericks are just running their offense against the defense that’s being presented to them, and the results are just about exactly what you would anticipate. Dallas had that in Game 4, and the Suns didn’t have nearly enough to counter them. It’s caused the Suns to almost default to switching against him most often. Better games from them would help the Suns tremendously. “They’re a really good defensive team when you just swing it around the 3-point line.” In Game 4, Doncic had 29 touches in the paint, the most in the game, while Brunson had another 15. 4. If I’m the Suns, I would put the workload back onto Dončić heading into Game 5. What we saw instead was a paint that was packed tighter with the Suns’ defenders, collapsing and cheating into the lane to try bothering him when he drove or backed his way toward the rim. On Sunday, that’s the Mavericks team that showed up in the win. “When the ball touches the paint, it’s a layup or a 3,” he said. After Dallas’ 111-101 win against Phoenix in Sunday’s Game 4, one which levels this series at two games each, it’s clear this series’ impetus has shifted away from the regular season’s best team to the underdog. It still might not be enough to win this series, but it’s clear the Suns have catching up to do.

Without their starting point guard, the Suns weren’t able to play at the level that they wanted to as their opponents ran away with the victory. In Game 4, Paul struggled even more as he fouled out early in the fourth quarter. After a heroic performance in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Chris Paul suddenly crashed and put up poor outings in their last two games. Him not getting to play at his best was a huge blow to the Suns, given the things that he can do on both ends of the floor. However, Jason Kidd’s squad refused to go down easily as they managed to tie the series at two games apiece with a 111-101 victory in Game 4. At this point, the series advantage is still up for grabs, and the team that can adjust better come Game 5 will gain the upper hand in this matchup.

While the Suns fight to get back to what worked early on in the series, here's a look at what went wrong on the road in Dallas:
As a team, the Suns posted 17 turnovers in back-to-back outings for the second time this season. The only other time Phoenix turned the ball over at least 17 times in back-to-back games was during a pair of regular games last December against the Washington Wizards (19) and the Chicago Bulls (17).

DALLAS — Jason Kidd explained the pain Dallas needed to endure in Game 4 to replicate success from Friday's triumph over the Phoenix Suns.
The 68 points they allowed to that point are the most the Suns have surrendered in an opening half so far in the playoffs. While it’s awesome to root hard for your team, we can all probably agree it’s despicable to harass someone’s family, regardless of the person’s lot in life. Over the first two games of the series in Phoenix, Paul racked up 47 points to go with 11 rebounds while turning the ball over four times and committed five fouls. Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber and Jason Terry are the only Mavs to connect on eight 3-pointers or more in a game. The Mavericks also finished with 20 3-pointers exactly 11 years ago to the day when they swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2011 West semifinals. Early in the game, the Mavericks roasted the Suns with center Deandre Ayton in drop coverage. The Mavericks, along with American Airlines Center, swiftly removed the fan from today’s game.” In all, the Mavericks have hit 20 3-pointers or more in four postseason outings. Doncic in the paint creates space for him to facilitate, while allowing Brunson to attack downhill. Dallas owns an all-time series record of 7-7 when it’s tied through four games in a best-of-seven series, while the Suns are 8-9 under those same conditions. The four fouls in the first half register as the most Paul has ever been whistled for in the NBA, and his disqualification marked the first time since 2018 that he fouled out of a postseason contest. As we’ve mentioned before, Phoenix hunted Doncic mercilessly over the first two games of the series.
