Nowitzki back but Mavericks lose to Suns

The

Phoenix Suns rode a scoring spree by T.J. Warren, who recorded a season-high 30 points as they snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 99-89 victory over Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas loss came in the season debut of Dirk Nowitzki, who hadn’t played yet while recovering from ankle surgery. When he entered the game late in the first quarter, it marked his 21st season with the Mavericks, most by a player with one team in NBA history. Phoenix beat the Mavericks for the seventh straight time. (AP)
