Murray did his best
In the absence of the two core Jalen Johnson and Trae Young, the Hawks were not discouraged, on the contrary, they played more resilient and more united, before Trae Young did not get the ball Murray, now he can connect the team, this game he incarnated as the ball-holding core, 26 shots 11 of the game, 3 of 10 three-pointers got 29 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, under his tandem the team a total of 4 people scored double-doubles.
Under Murray's feeding, Capela got 13 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 5-of-8 shooting, including 5 frontcourt boards, Nurkic's rebounding ability is the top in the league, but this time he was robbed by Capela, Bogdan got 16 points and 3 assists on 6-of-12 shooting, before Trae Young was there, Bogdan was a substitute role, and his performance was also good after entering the starting lineup recently, scoring 17 points in 25 minutes in the last game against the Lakers.
Hunter because of the existence of Jalen Johnson, he was also reduced to the role of a substitute forward, this game finally got the opportunity to return to the start, this game Hunter shot 5 of 13, 3 of 7 three-pointers got 22 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, after all, Hunter is the No. 4 pick in the first round, his talent is very good, but because of his limited ability to handle the ball, he has not been recognized by the Hawks, he is already a good 3D player.
Six Suns scored in double figures
In this campaign, the Suns side Durant shot 5 of 15 from the field, 2 of 7 from three-point range, got 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, friends who have often followed the Suns game recently should be able to find that Durant's state is not good recently, and the main reason for his poor state I think is that he is too tired, the offense is inefficient, not to mention the mistakes, 5 turnovers in this game, but during this time period, the Suns dare not let the core rest, after all, if the rest may the team ranking will fall.
Booker got 30 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 10-of-15 shooting, in the past two games, Durant was not in good shape because Booker used his personal play to drive the whole team, he drove the team with a pass in the last game, and this game led the team with a personal offense, but Beal's performance is still not good, he got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists on 4 of 7 shots in the game, and only got 3 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the last game.
In addition to the Big Three, the bench gave the team a lot of help today, Gordon had 21 points and 5 assists on 8-of-11 shooting, Royce O'Neal had 14 points and 5 rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting, Royce O'Neal has been getting less and less playing time recently, I think Vogel should give him and Bol Bol more opportunities, the team's Suns have too poor roster depth, they can help the team.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current sun and eagles?
