Performance Of The Night: Bradley Beal
What a night for the Phoenix Suns in a game they needed to win desperately; when all seemed lost, Bradley Beal stepped up, hit some clutch shots, and had the game-saving defensive play to end it.
Phoenix took on the Sacramento Kings in the Golden 1 Center and battled through not only what adversity the Kings were giving them but the continuing struggles the Suns have night in and night out. However, all that said for now is that Real Deal Beal showed up and showed out for CourtSideHeat’s POTN Award.
The game-changing playmaker proved tonight why he’s made for career-defining, season-defining, bigger-than-life moments. His stat line was 20 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a block in 34 minutes played. Plus, to top it all off, he went 9/13 (69%) from the field.
Do you wanna talk about a player who is beyond selfless, is the third option on a team rather than first (like he was on the Washington Wizards), is a motivator, and is a game-wrecker? This game proves his significant love for the game of basketball and his commitment to his team in more ways than one.
Bradley Beal’s fourth-quarter moments were huge. First, fans witnessed him hit a huge three to complete the comeback. Second, fans witnessed him steal and score to tie the game late in the game. Lastly, everyone saw him have a game-winning defensive moment against a player like De’Aaron Fox. That’s incredible in its own right.
If it weren’t for his elite play in tonight’s game, Phoenix probably wouldn’t have won this game. He quite literally kept the Suns in the race for sixth place; he may be injured a lot, and he may have to fight through them constantly, but he is one heck of a basketball player. It’s incredible to watch him play basketball.
As a Phoenix Suns fan, I thought Bradley Beal’s performance was beautiful. I can’t wait to see what he does on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is also the last day of basketball in our association.
