Its even harder to defend the best offense in the league if you are in the penalty early. We got roughly 6-8 FTs extra on non shooting fouls over the last 8 min of the game because they were in the penalty.
Definitely a factor.
Also felt like they won the game on defense in the 4th, Suns had a lot of empty poss in the 4th. Rubio got denied at least twice by KP at the rim. Suns couldn't get easy baskets inside with KP in. Everyone see's the box score of KP, but the dude certainly had winning plays on defense in the 4th that don't show on the box score.
Sixteen of seventeen free throw attempts in the fourth quarter were crucial. Agree that Porzingis was huge.
Also the Suns were healthy again. The last 2 weeks they missed Rubio and/or Baynes. That was certainly a good win.
