In January, Miami took it to Phoenix at the Footprint Center, winning 123-100. When the two teams met again on March 9, the Suns played like a team looking for revenge, winning 111-90 behind a balanced effort.

Duncan Robinson is a nightmare to defend, and he started off ablaze in this one, 3-3 from deep in the first three and a half minutes.
