Monty Williams sees Thursday’s loss to Miami as a result of more than just “slippage” in key areas that finally caught up with them.
The Phoenix Suns are being taken far more seriously than they were before the 2019-20 season began.
“We are a part of the scouting report that’s real,” Williams said. “People are talking about us. We’re not sneaking up on teams. I think teams know when they come and play against us, they got to bring it and we didn’t bring it like we had been, but our guys have to understand that teams are preparing for us differently now.
