Mavericks-Suns<\/h2>\n

Associated Press <\/h3>\n

Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> has
\nbeen a rugged road squad this postseason. The Mavericks are 4-2, and the losses
\ncame by a combined three points at San Antonio.But<\/span>
\nthe Suns have proven to be resilient. In the first round, they stormed back
\nfrom a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. In the second round,
\nagainst the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nanswered three losses with victories. As the Suns regroup for Game 3, they don\u2019t
\nexpect forward Raja Bell to be available. Bell<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nmissed Game 2 with a strained left calf. D\u2019Antoni<\/span>
\nsaid Bell<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> underwent an MRI<\/span>, and the team was waiting for the results. Bell\u2019s
\nabsence creates defensive problems for the Suns, who have conceded a
\nleague-worst 109.8 points a game in the playoffs. Phoenix<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nis also looking for a way to replace his offense. Guard Leandro<\/span>
\nBarbosa<\/span>, who started in Bell\u2019s spot Friday night, is
\n4-for-22 from the floor in the series, including 2-for-9 from 3-point range. Barbosa<\/span> emerged as an offensive weapon in his third season,
\nshooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range, best on the Suns and third in the
\nNBA. But he\u2019s shooting only 34.5 percent from beyond the arc in 16 playoff
\ngames.<\/p>\n
