The Phoenix Suns are keeping their ship steady as Game 2 lurks.
As of right now, the Phoenix Suns are behind the Minnesota Timberwolves 1-0 in their series.
You would think the Suns would have already packed their bags and headed home based on the conversation NBA fans have been having about their Saturday defeat.
It all boils down to executing your job well out there. These days, it’s difficult to tune out noise. It is ubiquitous. “You have to persevere, battle through it, and recognize that’s the essence of our sport,” Kevin Durant responded when questioned about exaggerated feelings following Phoenix’s first-round defeat.
The 120-95 victory over the weekend was Minnesota’s second-largest margin of victory in postseason history.
“You will hear sh– on a regular basis. Each and every day. These are things we simply have to play our game and live in. I believe that everyone in this room is aware of
“It’s hard to block out noise nowadays. You see it everywhere. You just got to play through it and fight through it and just understand that’s the nature of our game. You’re going to hear shit all the time. Every day.” Kevin Durant. #Suns #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/TYLZVfmsRh

After a “feel-out” game, Bradley Beal of the Suns is optimistic that Phoenix will make the necessary corrections.
After the defeat, Beal remarked, “This was probably their best game that we’ve seen, respectfully.”
It’s just one game, then. However, they emerged as the aggressors and seemed to desire it slightly more than we did. They also played the game effectively. The first few times we played them, they made some changes. came out in tonight’s game with some other garbage. Since this is a feel-out game, we can anticipate some things. They’ll undoubtedly make changes, but we’ll undoubtedly make ours as well.
Before things worked out, Devin Booker emphasized that the Suns were in a similar predicament against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round the previous year: “I can think back to the same situation last year.” We lost Game 1 to the Clippers, and while I’m not predicting we’re going to win the next four, there was a lot of overreaction. We’ll see how Game 2 goes since it’s just a series, Booker said. “Understanding that and realizing every road team had a difficult time in the playoffs, Game 1 of the playoffs so far this year,” Booker said.
“That is the playoffs’ greatest feature. That’s why I believe everyone adores it. The same crew keeps showing up. You simply have to go out and play at the end of the day—it’s adjustments versus adjustments. For everyone, it’s an emotional roller coaster.”
The Suns and Wolves’ second game is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, at 4:30 PM Arizona time.
