Benjamin Garcia breaks down why this gritty victory represents the perfect Suns win. This isn't last year's soft team. Devin Booker showed real leadership when officials tested his patience. Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale hit clutch threes every time the Clippers threatened. The defense imposed its will. Garcia pushes back hard against fans sulking about injuries, arguing the Suns have already beaten quality opponents like the Spurs, Jazz, and Kings without key players. He analyzes Jordan Ott's best coaching performance, the mental toughness this roster has developed, and why Kevin Durant's supporting cast is finally answering back when it matters most.

 

Discover why this bar fight mentality makes the Phoenix Suns dangerous to every team that underestimates them.
