Suns rotation, production needs more balance from starters to bench

Give credit to the Los Angeles Clippers for their scheme to defend a high-powered but fledgling Phoenix Suns offense with too many options to shut down completely.

In the first three games of the series, the plan has been over-playing passing lanes, double or triple-teaming Kevin Durant on the catch, letting Devin Booker cook with mostly single-coverage, and enticing lesser shooters to shoot by funneling them wide open shots.

The Phoenix Suns have looked confused at times, the offense looking more clunky than high-powered, and yet the Suns still have the 4th best offense in the postseason so far, scoring 120 points per 100 possessions.
