Suns might rely more on scorers off bench in series vs. Nuggets

Via the Arizona Republic:

Phoenix Suns are averaging 97 points through two games against Denver in the Western Conference semifinals after racking up 122 a game in eliminating the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round in five games.

Devin Booker and Kevin Durant are accounting for 59.2% of their points against the No. 1 seeded Nuggets.

Couple that with Chris Paul expected to miss the next two games with a strained left groin suffered in Game 2’s loss, Suns coach Monty Williams is looking to find some points production off the bench.

“I can do a better job of putting more scorers on the floor and living with whatever warts may come with that just to free those guys up so they don’t have to do it every single time down the floor,” Williams said after Wednesday’s practice. “We’ll make those adjustments accordingly.”

Enter Terrence Ross and T.J. Warren.
