Last night the Phoenix Suns felt the absence of Kevin Durant. And hell, Bradley Beal too. Give them credit. They fought. With role players like Collin Gillespie, Grayson Allen, and Nick Richards scrapping to make an impact, they tried to hold the line. But when over $100+ million in salary is sitting in street clothes, you’re going to feel it.
I don’t blame the young guys for their effort. In a way, it felt like a throwback. Devin Booker leading the charge with a band of misfits, playing hard, trying to will their way to a win.
