Admittedly, when the home team is trailing by 20 points, a few boos may surface, and understandably, the fans might not be in the mood to amp up the atmosphere. However, as seen time and time again, a booming dunk can easily inject life into the crowd, sparking a momentum-shifting run.
This precise scenario unfolded against the Kings.
In a clear-cut message, Allen noted,” I wish we could work better with the crowd. Like I understand we weren’t playing well, they paid for the tickets, they can come out and cheer however they want to. But, man, when we’re down like we want to be a great home court team, we have such a great crowd.”
Grayson Allen gave a lot of credit to the energy in the building for how the #Suns stayed with it to pull off their 22-point 4Q comeback. He said “the energy of the building was bad at points” before the fans became the loudest he heard them all season in the fourth. https://t.co/OCfbNxJxs2 pic.twitter.com/r58v6OMqtd
