The game highlights from Monday underscored to Suns coach Monty Williams the critical need for a cohesive team in order to secure wins in the postseason.

In Game 1, Williams asserted that his team, despite losing in the NBA Finals to the Milwaukee Bucks the previous year after winning the Western Conference championship, demonstrated their ability to handle their duties.

Williams explained that in order to perform at your best during competition, you must have the appropriate level of fear. This fear should come from a deep respect for the game. Moving forward, they have had to begin anew.
