A lackluster showing from the Phoenix Suns, starting with an ice-cold shooting display that they then allowed to impact their defensive connectivity, was at the root of their 83-102 loss on Monday to the New York Knicks.
1.) Stagnant Offense
The Suns started out Monday’s loss with a good process, getting into their continuity sets with their ball and player movement blended, and the premise of touches around the paint for Deandre Ayton (6 points on as many shots in the first).
As a team, however, they’d register a season-low in points in a quarter, with just 11.
