As a whole the Suns had a bounce back game shooting as they shot over 48% from the field and the starters as a whole shot efficiently through out. Devin Booker led the way with 25 points and it followed up with efficient performances from Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton with 15 and 16 points each.
The player of the game however was an unsung hero off the bench as Duane Washington Jr. gave them a spark scoring 21 bench points on 8-14 shooting throughout the night. This bodes well for the Suns moving forward. As soon as they get a little healthy this team should be able to go on another run shortly.
Free Throws and Bam Adebayo
The Suns only shot 4 free throws tonight to the Heat’s 25. That just won’t cut it as the Suns need to be able to get to the free throw line a lot more.
Bam Adebayo was the palyer of the game as he was unstoppable wspecially in the fourth quarter. He finished with 30 points and continues to be one of the best two way centers in the league.
The Suns will be back on the home floor against the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in hopes to break this two game losing streak.
