Sefko states the obvious and reminds everyone this is a big game.
A victory gives the Mavericks a four-game lead for the final playoff spot with five to play. It gives them the tiebreaker and forces the Suns to run the table to have a chance.
"It's going to come down to Sunday's game," Nowitzki said. "If we lose this one, it's only a two-game lead, and we've got a lot of tough teams coming up. We've got New Orleans twice. We've got Utah at home. We've got Houston.
"Sunday is definitely a big, big game. The good thing is we're at home. We've been great at home. Our fans have been great for us. Somehow, we've got to fight and pull that out."
