Suns light up NBA’s best defense + thoughts on Draymond’s suspension, Zach LaVine suitors

New York Times  

This is the digital version of The Bounce. About Last Night The Suns lit up the NBA’s best defense The Athletic has live coverage of Suns vs Lakers in the quarterfinal of the NBA In-Season Tournament. Draymond Green was suspended five games for “grabbing Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert around the neck in an unsportsmanlike and dangerous manner.” NBA Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars also said: “The length of the suspension is based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.” I’m of the mind that Adam Silver’s regime has been so soft on player punishment that Green getting five games is surprising. Toronto: Toronto really needs someone who can make shots, but I can’t imagine the Raptors giving up OG Anunoby or Pascal Siakam for LaVine.
