Before the NBA’s players-only NBA2K tournament began on Friday evening where Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker will represent the orange and purple on the virtual national stage, the Phoenix Suns continued their own NBA2K action featuring 2-way player Tariq Owens against the Cleveland Cavaliers and their rookie Darius Garland.
The two may as well have been playing in real life.
Garland, a lottery pick, absolutely dominated Owens who went undrafted.
At the half, the score was 55-24, and the game finished 105-45. Honestly, it really wasn’t even that close.
Garland was pretty good, so credit where it is due.
