In an NBA regular season game today, the Boston Celtics defeated the Phoenix Suns, who played at home 125-98, and achieved a somewhat surprising big victory. After this game, the record of Celtics , which won three consecutive victories, increased to 21 wins and 5 losses, and its ranking continued to top the Eastern Conference; while the record of Suns , which suffered two consecutive losses, declined to 16 wins and 9 losses, and its ranking also dropped to 2nd place in the Western Conference.
Although he lost the game, the Suns' substitute outside player Josh Okogie performed very well. He played 23 minutes and 23 seconds in the game, made 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 6 from the three-point line, and 8 of 10 free throws, and scored the team's highest score of 28 points plus 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The plus and negative value also reached +13. It is worth mentioning that 28 points also set a single-game scoring record for Okoji , which is undoubtedly the most exciting game in his career so far.
In the game, Okoji was excellent in offense and defense. On the offensive end, he is simply capable of being inside and outside, with stable basket efficiency, and also showing a good outside feel; on the defensive end, he is also the player with the most active attitude and best defensive effect in the team, with extremely excellent single defense and assistive defense capabilities. It can be seen that Okogi is the player who wants to win the most in the Suns' defeat, and may even be the only player who wants to win.
So far this season, Okogi has made a total of 21 appearances in the first 25 games. During his 9-minute playing time, his average of 3.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks. His shooting percentage is 38.5%, three-point shooting percentage is 24.1%, and free throw shooting percentage is 69.2%. At the beginning of the season, his playing time has been very limited and he is the team's iron bench. However, in the last three games, he has played more than 20 minutes, and in the last two games, his score has reached double digits. It can be seen that with his outstanding performance, he is gradually winning the trust of Suns head coach Monty Williams. This former ice shooter is now gradually regaining his touch, and he is also gradually gaining a foothold in the Suns, the top Western powerhouse.
