You lose to the worst team (by record) in the league and then have to play them the following evening on a back-to-back. The great thing about that wrinkle in the 2020-21 schedule? It allows for you not to linger, to dwell, and to overthink a poor performance from last night.

Ultimately the Suns cleared their minds, fought through the adversity, and dominated the fourth quarter to win by 12.
