Why the Suns beat the Spurs this year
May 9th, 2010 | by Kennith |
The Suns have not really changed their philosophy much, but the difference is simple:
The Spurs’ defense is not as good as before.
The Spurs used to play defense off Tim Duncan. When Duncan was healthy, the Spurs basically play off the Suns 3-pt shooting strength. The Spurs chased all the 3 point shooter and let Duncan to take care all the layups.
When Duncan was healthy, Spurs can do it, but not this year.
This is the main reason I think why the Suns beat the Spurs.
