Sure, that was part of it, but they ALSO figured out what PHX was trying to do in terms of helping Ayton after switches and rearranged sets/actions to make that plan impossible.
You're very focused on the 5-5 matchup, but I honestly don't think that's the chief concern. That isn't intended as a defense of Powell, I'm just saying that the goal relative to Looney is to make him pay with Luka and/or Brunson.
