“I thought our defense effort was really good. We turned the ball over. We missed a lot of shots. Both those things will put pressure on your defense, and I thought it held up well,” Mitch Johnson said. “If you would have told me, we would have held the Suns to 104 points, I would feel pretty good about that.”
