The impressive level of competitive fire shown from the Phoenix Suns was on display, yet again, while undermanned. A solid game plan was executed, and they were able to dig in, especially in the middle quarters. They’d come within one point closing the third, then fatigue and attrition would settle in, as expected from a rendition lacking offense that’s been relied upon for a sustained period of time, as they’d fall 98-112 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Let’s dig in.
1.) Lack of Fourth Quarter Horses
Through the first three-quarters of play, these were some of the Suns marks in the game:
· Down just 79-80
· Defensive Rating of 108.
