Five takeaways from Adelaide 36ers stunning Phoenix Suns in ... (AZCentral.com)

Phoenix Suns lost their preseason opener to the Adelaide 36ers, 134-124 , Sunday at Footprint Center.

Biyombo knows the offense and defense, but the Suns are 4-on-5 on offense. Chris Paul handled the ball less and only took four shots in scoring six points, but had 12 assists. "There's a chance when you mingle and you dance together, is this an exhibition or is this not," Bruton said before the preseason game. [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or contact him at 480-787-1240. May still be getting reacclimated to the league, but this was against an NBL team that's closer to who he played against in EuroBasket with the Croatian national team. Then Williams replaced Landale with Bismack Biyombo in the second unit in the second quarter. Johnson could do that, but now he's starting with Jae Crowder not with the team and expected to be traded. Wide open in the half court and in transition. Got to take that into account, but this unit struggled on the defensive and didn't have any one who can just get hot and be a focal point of the offense. The Suns offense is a work in progress because they're having Bridges and Johnson handle the ball more and establishing Ayton as an offensive option beyond the pick-and-roll. Ayton faced up, put the ball on the floor and scored at the basket while Bridges handled the ball more and scored off the bounce in transition and halfcourt. The question is can Bridges and Ayton do those things within the offense when Booker or Paul has it going.

I thought they played like this was the game of their lives and they did play the game of their lives.

Its biggest lead was six points and it was the first time a NBA team has lost to a NBL team. 14 seed from the NCAA Tournament that began indicating it was going to pose a serious threat to its opposition with the amount of “we’ll take that” shotmaking it executed. Phoenix’s opening lineup couldn’t quite get it there but came out for the night down three with 4:29 to go in the third quarter. “They made some tough shots off the dribble from 3 and at the basket. The 36ers knocked down a handful of off-the-dribble 3s but also got a few free ones around the rim and free throw line thanks to some suboptimal defensive rotations from Phoenix.
