The Phoenix Suns had won two straight games on the road in large part to do with the play of their second unit and more specifically, Alex Len. As the Suns geared up for their Wednesday night matchup in Los Angeles, they knew they would have to once again rely heavily on their big man off the bench.
Coming into the game, Len already ranked first in the NBA with an average of 9.5 rebounds in 25 games when coming off the bench this season. He also leads the league with five double-doubles as a reserve.
The fifth-year pro is having his best season in the NBA averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists and field goal percentage.
