Monty Williams - PHX Suns

This text discusses the recent win by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Clippers. The author points out that the Suns found their rhythm and played cohesively, leading to a 14-point victory. However, the author also notes that star player Devin Booker played 44:48 minutes, which is a significant amount of time for a single game. The author compares this to Kevin Durant, who played a similar amount of time in his team's recent playoff game. The author notes that while it's expected for star players to log more minutes in the playoffs, it's still a lot of time to play through the course of a postseason. Finally, the author mentions that the Clippers' primary star, Kawhi Leonard, is averaging fewer minutes played than Booker and Durant in the first two games.
