Suns grit through growing pains, old habits for OT win vs. Clippers
The process of building is always going to be unforgiving in basketball, even in an offseason full of promising change, and that was the lesson (if you needed it) within the Phoenix Suns’ 116-113 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime.
Phoenix’s flow offensively in the first half was hit or miss but it did make 10 of its 23 3-pointers and play solid defense, enough to at one point lead by 14. But the offense stalled out once more, scoring six points across a 7:17 mark at the end of the second quarter and opening of the third to bring on a tie game across a 20-6 Clippers run. This featured a whole lot of turnovers on a night Phoenix had 22. The unforced errors, a giant problem area for last year’s squad, were a cheap jump-scare tactic straight out of a C-tier horror movie.
