On January 8, the NBA regular season continued, and the Suns faced off against the Grizzlies on this game day. In this game, the absence of Morant on the Grizzlies' side brought benefits to the Suns, of course, the biggest benefit for the Suns was the return of Durant, who had missed 3 games before.
In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies without Morant were admirable, facing the Suns' Big Three, under the leadership of Smart, the Suns only led by 6 points, and even in the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies led by 1 point in a single quarter, and at the end of the half, the Suns held a 5-point advantage.
In the third quarter of the game, the Suns played a 34-28 one-quarter lead of 6 points, and they entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point advantage. With an 11-point advantage and the Big Three, the Suns won this game with a grip on their hands, but in the fourth quarter, the Suns lost power, and their power outage was very embarrassing.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Grizzlies played a wave of 19:7 offensive climax, they overtook the score in the fourth quarter, although the Suns once regained the upper hand, but the Grizzlies played more bravely at the critical moment, they won the game, and also embarrassed the Suns' Big Three.
On Durant's side, the regular version of Durant, even he is more sluggish than the regular version of Durant, and the shooting rate of the returning Durant has not been able to maintain 50%, but at the critical moment, his performance is still good.
Booker's performance is as always, scoring and assisting, but Booker is now a little closer to Wang Zhelin, that is, his statistics do not seem to have much to do with the team's wins and losses.
And what about the last big man -- Beal? In fact, Bill is the one who sinners in this game, the Suns lose. Beal was 4-of-9 in the third quarter of this game, got 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 fouls, Beal's on-court win-loss is -5, he is not only the worst player in the starter, but also the worst player in the bench. Thinking about Beal's annual salary, looking at Beal's stats, Beal acted like a rotation player on the offensive end of this game. Defensively, when Smart saw Beal's excited eyes, we knew that Beal's star was completely knocked out.
