1. Durant sent 16 assists in the whole game, the organizational ability is better than Booker, this season the Suns always have the problem of organizational chaos on the offensive end, there is no pure point guard in the team, and Booker has been the organizer before, although Booker can create scoring opportunities for his teammates, but his offensive rhythm will also be affected, the Suns organized the offense by Durant in this game, delivering ammunition to teammates, and as a result, Durant sent a career-record 16 assists, leading the team to a big victory, and also got 27 points of big triple-double data。 It can be seen that Durant's passing ability has been underestimated, and the Suns can consider Durant to dominate the offensive rhythm, and Booker can do a good job of scoring with peace of mind.
2. There were too many mistakes by the Suns, there were 19 turnovers in this game, and there were so many turnovers not because of the Rockets' tough defense, but because the passing ability of the Suns players was really limited, Durant had 3 turnovers, Booker had 4 turnovers, Nurkic had 3 turnovers, Allen had 3 turnovers, and the four starters sent a total of 13 turnovers, and the team could still win mainly because the three points in this game were very accurate, otherwise it was likely to be reversed.
3. The Suns' role player ability has yet to be developed, before the Suns interior line was mainly rotated between Nurkic and Eubanks, in Nurkic's absence, Azubuyik performed very well, and Metu also contributed, their bodies are stronger, which can improve the Suns' defense, and there is also a big man on the bench Bol Bol, although the Suns' benches are all base-salary players, but they all have a skill, how to stimulate their potential depends on the ability of the coaching staff.
