Beal is the third option, but if the Suns move the ball and move bodies, he can be the one who gets open looks off how the defense reacts to Durant and Booker. On Beal’s dagger 3, Chicago chose to double Durant essentially at half court.

After nailing a dagger 3 to give the Suns a six-point lead with 13.4 seconds left, Beal held up the 3-point sign while skipping up the baseline. He was greeted by his teammates and went down the line celebrating with each one. Beal then broke into a slip-and-slide dance with Monte Morris that had them both laughing.
