PHOENIX — Following the first practice this week with a slew of 2021 NBA Finals logos and posters draped around the arena, instead of the usual routine of receiving treatment and going home, nearly the entire Phoenix Suns squad hung around in the locker room for a few hours fellowshipping and taking in the moment.
“No one wanted to leave,” one team official told Yahoo Sports.
It was an impromptu meeting where players addressed the approach needed for Game 1, what to anticipate if Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was a go and what it took for them to get to this point.
