The NBA regular season continued with the Suns halting a losing streak with a 115-102 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers. In this game, the Suns did not feel good, they were beaten a 9-1 start in 4 minutes, but fortunately they immediately adjusted and slowly approached the point difference. In the second quarter, the Suns were on fire from the outside, scoring 39 points in a single quarter, turning the momentum on the court and building a double-digit lead. In the second half, the Suns continued to fire, and they led by about 20 points at most, killing the suspense of the game in one fell swoop. After the win, the Suns' record came to 40-29 and remained in the 8th place in the West, so where did they win this game?
Durant, KD finally found his previous stable form today, he shot 10-of-18 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point range, and scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers in 36 minutes of playing time. During this time, Vogel tried more and more to make Durant appear in the position of five small centers, which made Durant's physical fitness face a certain test, but after adapting, Durant seemed to find some of these balances, and he grasped offense and defense, and slowly became the Suns' most influential player on the court.
Booker, tough, despite scoring and scoring with just 18 points, grabbed nine rebounds, dished out 11 assists, and only had two turnovers and two steals on the defensive end. In terms of efficiency, Booker shot 7 of 15 and 1 of 5 three-pointers, which seems to be not up to par efficiency, but considering that Booker has to help the interior grab rebounds in the small lineup, act as a temporary interior lineman, and carry the team's organizational banner on offense, Beal is really overwhelmed in this regard, wearing many hats, Booker can do this level is already very good.
Bill, pull the crotch, there's nothing to say, and it's a pull to the end. Beal shot 1-of-6 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range today, and he only contributed 3 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in 37 minutes of playing time, and had an outrageous 5 turnovers. That is, this time the Suns won, otherwise Bill would definitely be a sinner.
Grayson Allen, who can be called Ray Allen again today, shot 10 of 17, 9 of 15 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and personally scored 32 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers. Allen had a plus/minus of +20 on the court, and it was his three-point show that the Suns pulled the score away.
Nurkic is still the mainstay of the Suns' interior line, shooting 5 of 10 from the crossbow today, he contributed 10 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers, and still has more rebounds than points. The problem with the crossbow machine has always been that the finishing efficiency is average, but if he is also very good at finishing, then it will not be this price.
In terms of bench role players, Bol Bol is today's odd soldier, he shot 4 of 6 and 2 of 4 three-pointers, Bol contributed 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 2 turnovers for the Suns, but he played too little time, and Vogel should consider giving him more time. Royce O'Neal finally regained his offensive touch, shooting 5-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from three-point range, he chipped in 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 turnover, and played 10 minutes with a plus/minus of +13.
The other players, Eubanks and Little combined for 3-of-6 shooting and 1-of-1 three-pointers, they combined to get only 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and the rest of the players, including Gordon, Roddy, Thomas Jr. and other players, did not score.
