Takeaways Suns: Phoenix started strong, but seemed to tire quickly playing on the second night of a back-to-back and couldn’t find any scoring options outside of Durant and Booker. Charlotte’s starting five finally seemed to gel late in the second quarter when there was good ball movement that created open shots.
