BOX SCORE
PHOENIX (AP) _ Michael Finley scored 24 points and the Dallas Mavericks rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to beat the Phoenix Suns 104-94 Friday night. Shawn Bradley scored 20 points, Steve Nash had 13 and Dirk Nowitzki 12 for the Mavericks, who have won four of their last five games against Phoenix. Clifford Robinson scored 18 points to lead the Suns, who led 77-62 with 1:52 remaining in the third quarter on Jake Tsakalidis' seven-foot hook shot. Paul McPherson had 13 points and Ruben Garces added 12 for Phoenix. Finley led the Mavericks back, scoring five points to lead a 16-0 run early in the fourth quarter as the Mavericks took a 92-84 lead with 4:19 remaining. Phoenix was without starters Penny Hardaway and Tom Gugliotta, and reserves Tony Delk and Corie Blount for the second consecutive game. Tsakalidis, the Suns' first-round pick in the June draft, sprained his right ankle in the third quarter and did not return. He finished with two points, one rebound and three blocked shots. Phoenix guard Shawn Marion bruised his right thigh after scoring seven points in the game's first eight minutes and didn't play again.
