PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -There is no secret to the Phoenix Suns’ success so far against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Offensively, it essentially boils down to an effective screen-and-roll before kicking the ball out to the perimeter. In the Suns’ case, the perimeter is Jason Richardson.
For the past two games of their first-round playoff series against the Blazers, the Suns’ strategy has worked perfectly.
Richardson had a career playoff-best 42 points – including eight 3-pointers – in a 108-89 Phoenix victory in Portland on Thursday night, after a 29-point performance in the Suns’ 119-90 victory at home in Game 2.
Phoenix leads the series 2-1 headed into Saturday’s game at the Rose Garden.
