While all the attention on the Phoenix Suns these days is on their offense, it’s their defense that has been underperforming so far in the playoffs.
Why is Kevin Durant standing in the weak side corner so often, waiting for an outlet pass? Has the attention on Durant unlocked the best we’ve ever seen of teammate Devin Booker? What’s wrong with Chris Paul’s shooting? Where did Deandre Ayton’s last bit of aggression go?
So many questions, all on the offensive side of the ball. Yet, the Suns have still posted the 4th-best offense so far among the 16 playoff teams with a 119.
