The Dallas Mavericks news have taken over the NBA news and lost in all these are the Phoenix Suns defying expectations. Grayson Allen scored his career high of 42 points on 10 three point shots made in win over the New Orleans Pelicans to elevate his team in the standings.

Grayson Allen credits fans for good performances
Allen is one of the few veterans that remained in the team after the blockbuster trade last summer. The team is still led by Devin Booker and they have holdovers like Royce O’Neale, Ryan Dunn, and Oso Ighodaro.
Newcomers are Green, Dillon Brooks, Mark Williams, and rookie Khaman Maluach.
While the team has a new core, the fans are the mainstays. Allen thanked them for continued support leading to his personal success and the team’s recent good performances.
