Suns, Devin Booker, Jordan Ott
Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns were decisive, organized, and intentional in their purpose offensively against the league’s best defense.
Against Oklahoma City, Phoenix was able to mitigate much of the transition offensive impact by slowing the game down, controlling time of possession, and manipulating the game in the process.
Phoenix suns and devin booker were sharp vs. OKC
Devin Booker spearheading the attack, they were able to bring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander into action more than any other team has this season, but did not allow for the slow nature of matchup-hunting to slow their advantage creation.
By way of 22 Royce O’Neale screens set (his most this season, by far), Gilgeous-Alexander was targeted a season-high 17 times — including 11 times alone in the second-half, which alone would rank for SGA’s fifth highest mark of the season.
"We definitely matchup hunted more in the 2nd half… Overall, our intent was pretty good."
Jordan Ott w/ me on their matchup hunting process.
• Royce O'Neale set *by far* his most screens (22). +8 to his previous high
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander defended his MOST screens (17) https://t.co/SRDpAB3diu pic.twitter.com/3fgN7EWPVG
