THE TWINS

Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson’s bond off the floor is paying dividends on the court during the Suns postseason run

Cam Johnson stood in a wide stance across from LeBron James as the Los Angeles Lakers attempted to make one final push in the closing minutes of Game 6.

James made a beeline to the basket, but Johnson remained disciplined in his defensive approach. The Phoenix Suns’ second-year wing stayed in front of the 17-time All-Star, forcing James into a spin move. But Johnson reacted quickly, reaching in and stripping the ball out of his hands.

Already closing in to help defensively, Mikal Bridges swiped the ball off the floor and sprinted up court for the fastbreak.
