Meanwhile, Josh Okogie led the Suns with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists in the loss, and this time, he will be determined to inspire his side to a win over the Nuggets.
Quotes
“Well, definitely not there, but definitely picking things up too," Suns head coach Frank Vogel said after his side's defeat to the Nuggets.
"It’s a new system, defensive system and this team in particular creates a lot of different challenges that…we have complex layers to our defense.
"We’re still in our base defense phase, so we walked through some of the coverages this morning and just asked guys to compete even though they’re new.”
