The Suns beat the Magic 112-107, and players like Beal, Durant, and Nurkic put on excellent performances and showed strong overall strength. However, some players have been weak, posing a potential risk for the team's future. In this game, the overall performance of the Suns is worth watching, but it also exposed some problems. Beal's 25 points in the game with high efficiency, especially the huge improvement he showed on the breakaway, became one of the team's highlights. Defensively, his aggressiveness also played a big part in helping the team win.
Durant easily contributed 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and the statistics were extremely comprehensive. His back-to-back scoring streak in the final quarter not only dominated the situation, but also contributed immensely to the team as a whole. However, his opponent did not adopt a trap strategy, which also made it much easier for him to score. Nurkic broke out in two consecutive games, working flawlessly with Durant's pick-and-roll to contribute 19 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. Although there are still problems on the defensive end, his all-round contribution is crucial for the team.
The UAE showed excellent all-round ability, while also maintaining enough pressure on the defensive end. However, his role overlapped with Gordon's, resulting in a late absence from the court, which became a pity. Booker contributed 21 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in this game, and his overall performance was good. However, his assertiveness and individual ability on the offensive end were too prominent, which sometimes affected the overall situation. Metu had a decent performance, and despite his less than ideal scoring, he still had some control over the rebounding ball, which was crucial for the interior rotation.
The collapse of Gordon, Okogie and Azu has been a major weakness for the team, especially their lackluster performances on the offensive end, which has helped the team very little. Overall, the Suns performed well in this game, and the overall strength was reflected. However, with some players being too individual and others showing weakness, the team needs to better integrate and unify their tactics to ensure that the overall strength is played. In future games, how to better balance the roles of players will become a problem that the Suns need to think about and solve.
