The Phoenix Suns put an end to a four-game winning streak with that nine-point defeat against the Clippers. The Suns returned to winning ways last Friday, beating the Miami Heat 113-97 as 3.5-point home favorites.
Phoenix made 50.6% of its field goals versus Miami. The Suns went 14-for-35 from beyond the arc while posting an excellent 30/11 assist-to-turnover ratio. Grayson Allen led the way for the Suns with 31 points, Bradley Beal had 25 points and nine assists, and Devin Booker notched 20 points and ten dishes.
“He's just in the flow,” Booker said about Allen. “He makes it look easy. It's not complicated. He's shooting open shots and when people try to run him off (the 3-point line) , he makes the right play. I think teams are going to realize that helping off him is not the option.”
Sunday’s games have been excluded from the analysis, and the 19-16 Suns took on the Memphis Grizzlies to wrap up a six-game homestand. Phoenix was 11th in the NBA in adjusted offensive efficiency (117.5 points per 100 possessions) and 16th in adjusted defensive efficiency (115.7).
