The Suns defense for the first time looked stalled to begin the game as they had no answer for what Jason Kidd was attacking against them. An unsung hero was Josh Green as he got off to a really strong start to begin the game. Devin Booker struggles scoring as he only has 6 first quarter points.

The has a better second quarter but still struggled to stop them on defense. Deandre Ayton got it going in the second quarter as he finished the half with 14 points. Luka matched him with 10 more second quarter points to give them a comfortable 67-41 lead at the half.
The good news, they’ve been in this deficit before early in the season. Can they repeat history from this deficit again. We shall see come second half.
