It starts with a very high pace and with the attacks that have the better of the defenses. Booker does what he wants and offensive level, the rookie of wonders Cunningham tries to answer, with the entry of Lyles then Detroit always seems to be able to find good solutions in attack but in the second quarter Phoenix’s defense changes register.
