Facing LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers is never easy, but to make matters more difficult for the Suns, they were without their two leading scorers on Friday night.
Devin Booker (right hand sprain) and T.J. Warren (left knee inflammation) were once again sidelined as the Suns tipped off in Cleveland.
Head Coach Jay Triano countered the Cavaliers’ small lineup by placing Marquese Chriss into the starting center spot. This was the Chriss’ first start since early February and the second-year player made the most of it.
From dunks to three-pointers, Chriss was finding every way to get his offense going early.
