2. Beating The Spurs
While the Lakers are a rival of the Suns, the San Antonio Spurs have got to be at the top of that list. The Suns played a masterful game against their nemesis, not allowing a field goal by the Spurs for the final five minutes of the game. Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas combined for 45 points and IT’s points came off the bench.
Markieff Morris had a solid game with 20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and a block and no turnovers. It doesn’t get much more efficient than that for a big man.
This was still when Miles Plumlee was starting at center for Phoenix. He only scored four points, opening up time for Alex Len who had a double-double with 10 points and 11 boards. Gerald Green also threw in 10 points and had the highest plus/minus with a +15.
