Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers Full Highlights 1st QTR | Apr 2 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

The reload drops it off the field extra pass sets up the straightaway look for Royce O’Neal who delivers a three-point knockdown O’Neal getting a seventh start of the season with Grayson Allen out with that hip yeah you think back that that start that Royce had against Los

Angeles of course the suns were a little less a little more short-handed but Moy shows you his three-point shooting range shooting 38% on the season the big seven-footer third year out of USC I think that’s the biggest thing the trust factor that Cleveland has in starting two seven

Footers which if you’re the Suns though you should be licking your chops let’s run that motion offense let’s get them going let’s get in transition get some easy buckets yeah and the thing that I thought it was interesting in listening to Frank before the game tonight and he

Was saying about the importance of making the extra pass even more so tonight because it sets up Rim efficiency with that big front line and speaking of front line that guy can get it done inside as well Durant 37 in the first meeting between these two clubs he’s played well historically against the

Cavs comes up short with that leaner and again it’s a completely different team that Cleveland has on the floor but also 88 points between the big three for Phoenix in that matchup yeah not only did Donovan Mitchell not play in that game Moy did not play stru also did not

Play so we always talk about the Suns in their space ing makes a big difference with those three guys on the floor yeah they’re long nerk working down low against Moy gives up some weight trying to get that right hand hook but too strong Here Comes Garland Garling was the problem in

Game one between these two teams went offer 21 in the first quarter Moy Point Blank shot too strong yeah a big Miss inside because Allen had done a great job getting position look lost the handle stru trailing go are that Baseline fade Bo that’s a tough fade

Away a good defense right there but when books in his bag like that and he’s focused on getting uh to his points uh and his points on the floor I pretty impossible to stop Mitchell on the crossover using that big upper body strength to get to the Rim Yeah and

Booker talked about consistency you’ve got to come each game is different you’ve got to come in prepared but you’s got to be consistent trying to get that back door cut feed it over the top but nice defense by stru generates the steal with the cast you know they feel they

Can control the pace but it all starts with taking care of the basketball Mitchell with a step back three-point knockdown you heard Tom and top talk about his shooting of late in the seven games that he has played since the multiple injuries for him he’s just top 14 points

Twice good look from the corner yeah the sun’s really sharing the basketball right now be with an absolutely beautiful officient night there Monday flirted with a triple double Mobley fires the long three rebound Allen Mobley winding it up saw the attack and he did not try and block anything Booker spinning pass through

Lees the left hand short here’s Garland quick Trier on the three this team is not bashful about shooting threes they’ve averaged about 15 made threes per game since early December that is third best in the association as KD gets inside the elbow well Frank vogle too talked about

Coming back home they’ve been on the road but you cannot become complacent when you have your first game back Carlin Clips the pass inside to Allen Prett easy two Allen 21 points 12 rebounds last night 38 double double that’s a career high for him Garland doing a nice job keeping the

Ball out of Beal’s hands and Frank vogle talked about that Bradley Beal has kind of taken over that point guard position Mitchel feeling froggy early as he fired a long contested three you see the Suns being a little bit sluggish you can see that maybe that

Road trip you know there’s just not a lot of energy in the middle in the building there’s not a lot of um intensity and you have a three right there which is beautiful but when we can move the ball and we get into that motion offense you know that gives us a

Rhythm when we start strong and that’s really helpful for us especially in the second half tough Drive the NCAA and it’s going to be this weekend pretty exciting all the coaches here for the men’s side so trailing by one Beal’s pass knocked into the hands of Durant goes on

The attack move inside and looked like Moy and Allen both may have gotten a piece of that Carris Levert checking in during that last time out he had the hot hand last night 26 points as Donovan Mitchell did not play in that one and another leaner in the

Lane misfired by one of the Cavs bigs Beal on the drive at the cup strew able to not play in the first meeting between these two O’Neal well ktie just took his eye off the ball that’s only a second turnover for the Suns but they’ve got to put pressure

On Cleveland Cleveland has not got a turnover Phoenix went the entire first quarter Monday night they season High 46 points without any turnovers and they forced that first one right there b with his hands on it got keep talking about it k k transition three spins out for

Book got that hot hand going in New Orleans breaking out of the little 10 game p nerkish quick hands generates another steal up ahead to Durant Durant going against a former Brooklyn Net teammate is lever yeah Cleveland did a nice job getting back and and forcing KD to take

That little Fade Away Jumper in the middle but he’s rather more comfortable stab not happy about it eight season as a head coach fifth year with the c great mismatch for KD Georg inyang able to time up with some double team help stru running O’Neal off the line kicks it out to

Booker extra pass to Ranch shot clock winding down won’t get it but nerk with the inside position on the offensive Glass book resets to the left connects from distance beautiful possession you see that ball move side to side pretty much everyone touched the ball uh they got to the Pate they penetrated kicked

To the open man offensive rebound you couldn’t ask for anything better yeah six assists now and eight made field goals Yang from the minivan to the G wagon that time little too much and a lead pass up ahead to Durant put it out into the universe about not having any

Cavaliers turnovers in the Suns must have H you because three straight trips has presented three straight CS to you kept talking about it partner of the Phoenix Suns no Grace in Al theight nothing serious but we see how hard Grayson has hit the floor during that road trip so hopefully

A few extra days of rest will get him well by Fring bu bll up off the bench book raising up over Levert knocks down the mid-range now you can see Cleveland is just switching off on Devin Booker putting different guys on him here is Levert thought it was

Interesting JB bicker staff just descri his his playing style on the offensive end Shifty and that’s really a a great way to describe him you know so many players kind of have a rhythm and a certain kind of Bounce to him with Levert it’s really hard to get a read on

Him because he can take it with either hand well he does such a great job passing the ball to his teammates 112 Suns burst enjoying their biggest lead of eight Mitchell squares and fires over Beal that one spins out Cavs now just two of eight for Beyond The Arc Gordon going to working

To post up but also can look to get him inside the lane EU Banks cut off going to move to the paints Gordon with a pump fake gets it back from bll finds some space to operate in with a left left of the lane and when the shot clock is running down

You’re at 76 you got to keep the ball in your hands in that situation Mitchel to Levert little too much air under that one and the Suns again great connectivity on the defensive end Booker with Merill try to stay in front of him identifies the double team try to pass

Across the top Beal with a hustle and a save and how about that and those are the kind of plays that Bradley Beal has been making over the last three weeks in particular guys Frank vogle acknowledged that his field goal attempts have dropped down he’s made that sacrifice but it’s what he’s

Been doing on the defensive end the hustle chart that really has stood out I think absolutely and you just got to find a way if you’re not getting the ball he’s skilled enough that he can either get to the free free throw line or be a dog and that’s exactly what he

Did but offensively when they’re doubling book someone has got to get to the middle of the paint to make that easy well those kinds of plays by Beal ignites the rest of the team Suns run continues now at 15-2 Mitchell just throwing up a prayer sun to the rebound Allen trailing on the

Play Beal gets a step hits the brakes clips it out to bll winding up back tap Brew B had it knocked out of his hand but able to recover and that’s been a discussion too this season how well the bench comes in what kind of production are we are the

Suns getting from there their bench not only pointwise but defensively well they’ve nearly equaled what they had the entire game in Cleveland Andy they had a SE and Frank Bogle has had to deal with that all season long with the injuries and what they rotation is going to be

Mitchell able to get to the left hand fires to three well he hit that first one but has struggled since now just one of four for beyond the arc S will work some time on the clock here Beal turns the corner your own shot and you need to get

Going you need to be a threat and not look to pass every single time too so I know his field goal percentages have gone down the attempts have gone down but also as a scorer you’ve got to create your own opportunities as well and that’s what he’s been trying to

Balance as far as a scoring guard compared to a point guard Allen leans inside leaves a little time on the clock and John Lucas pass to Allen
