5 takeaways from trade deadline Thursday ending in Suns loss at Hawks
It counts on the record — and Suns coach Monty Williams isn’t bypassing the details of their 116-107 loss to Atlanta starting with getting outrebounded, 59-35, as the Hawks gobbled up 20 offensive rebounds.The Suns did do more than play a game Thursday before a sellout crowd of 17,003 at State Farm Arena.
Down 18 with 3:47 left in the third, the Suns cut that deficit down to nine with 7:40 left in the fourth.The Suns were still down nine with 5:36 left after Ayton’s jump hook of Paul’s assist, but Atlanta went on a 13-5 run to open the game back up, 112-95 with 2:34 left.The Suns came into the game with just nine available players as they not only traded away Bridges, Johnson and Saric, but Devin Booker , Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet were out while Warren, Durant and Bazley weren’t there.
The Suns could use that time to get Durant, Warren and Bazley settled. With Warren playing his first five seasons in Phoenix, he knows the city.Ayton was clearly hurt by seeing Bridges and Johnson traded — and for good reason."Did a lot of crying already,” he said after the game. “Once I know my guys, the Twins are good. I'm back to business.”Yes, it’s a business, but Ayton may have felt the loss of Johnson and Bridges.
