Spurs
Without the injured Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs found the resources to dominate the Suns this Monday evening.
An embarrassing defeat for Frank Vogel’s men, with Bradley Beal honest in front of the journalists.
Largely victorious on Saturday evening against the Spurs, the Suns failed to repeat their performance this Monday evening.
102-104 defeat for Frank Vogel’s men, who were nevertheless able to count on a full squad, including the Big 3. Devin Booker’s 36 points and Kevin Durant’s 29 were not enough, despite the absence of Victor Wembanyama.
This is what makes this defeat more embarrassing for the Suns, since the Frenchman was withdrawn before the game.
Despite this, and thanks to Jeremy Sochan’s 26 points and 18 rebounds, Gregg Popovich’s men managed to create a surprise.
It must be said that opposite, Bradley Beal is far from his usual performance.
Bradley Beal honest about losing
Often considered a big scorer, Beal was limited to 9 points for 4/11 shooting this Monday evening.
Not a big game for the guard, who continues to get used to his new role in Arizona.
When explaining this defeat at a press conference, he recognized that the Suns let their guard down with Wembanyama absent.

@DominguezCinco: "We definitely laid an egg. We came in, thought it was going to be easy, no Wemby. We just got our ass kicked. They came out aggressive, like coach told us they would, and we didn’t respond. We didn’t. Did not respond.”— Tom Orsborn (@tom_orsborn)

Bradley Beal : “We came in, we thought it would be easy without Wemby across the way.
Then we got our asses kicked.
They were aggressive, as our coach told us, and we didn’t know how to respond.
We didn’t respond at all. »
A mistake for the Suns, who believed that the victory was going to be even simpler without the presence of Wembanyama.
The Spurs, on the other hand, came in with every intention of making noise without their best player, and they succeeded. A
definitely embarrassing defeat for Bradley Beal and his partners.
Bradley Beal recognizes it: the Suns thought of an easy victory without Victor Wembanyama.
Miscalculation for the Phoenix players, who lose a precious match here at the end of the season.
