The Phoenix Suns had a rough start in their recent game against the Clippers, with a dismal shooting performance in the first quarter. The team struggled to find their rhythm, shooting a mere 10.5% from the field and scoring only 10 points in the first quarter. This poor performance was in stark contrast to the Clippers, who scored 37 points while shooting 65.7% and 80% from beyond the arc.
Despite the absence of key players Kawhi Leonard and James Harden for the Clippers, the Suns failed to capitalize on the opportunity to secure a win. The team’s offensive strategy seemed to falter, with leading players like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal going 0-of-12 from the field in the first quarter.
As the game progressed, the Suns continued to struggle, trailing behind the Clippers by a significant margin at halftime. With the absence of Jusuf Nurkic, the team’s reliance on Drew Eubanks to lead the offense proved ineffective, further contributing to their scoring woes.
Overall, the Suns’ lackluster performance in the first half left fans disappointed and raised concerns about their ability to secure a favorable position in the playoffs. The team will need to regroup and refocus in the upcoming games to avoid similar setbacks in the future.
