The Suns dropped a huge road game in Denver as they lose game one by a final score of 125-107. It was a tough three-point shooting night for the Suns as they only had 7 made three’s on 30% shooting.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!To put this in the proper perspective, Jamal Murray had 6 threes by himself after he dropped 34 points. The Suns also didn’t do any favors by turning the ball over 16 times.
Despite all of the mishaps on Saturday night, Undisputed host Skip Bayless remains a believer in the Suns after a tough road game one playoff loss.
Good: The Suns just got embarrassed in Game 1. THEY WILL WAKE UP AND RESPOND, ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE AND ON THE BOARDS.

One thing Bayless did say that I agree with is the Suns definitely got to be better on the boards and on defense. Nikola Jokic by himself had 19 rebounds and the Suns’ transition defense was bad all night.
Head coach Monty Williams explained how the Suns lost pace and how the run started happening in the second quarter of the game.
