He was 7-of-8 on open shots and 8-of-10 on contested shots. He was 3-of-3 on plays when the Suns double-teamed him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some of the shots were incredibly difficult,&#8221; Suns coach Jordan Ott said. &#8220;We know he can make some of those shots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We tried different matchups, tried to take it out of his hands. He got to the area where it&#8217;s a little harder to take it out of his hands when he just rises up over us. Give him credit. He had us spinning tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gilgeous-Alexander, who also had a game-high eight assists, said the absence of Williams didn&#8217;t have any impact on his approach. Williams&#8217; Grade 1 left hamstring strain is scheduled to be reevaluated on Thursday, meaning he&#8217;s unlikely to play at least the rest of the series even if Phoenix manages to extend it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very fortunate to be in this position. But regardless of who&#8217;s out there, I get to go out there and play my game,&#8221; Gilgeous-Alexander said. &#8220;That&#8217;s just the role I have on this team, and my coaches and teammates do a really good job of letting me be in my space. Now with our second ball handler out, naturally the end-of-the-shot-clock plays and naturally the start of possessions, the ball&#8217;s going to be in my hands more, just naturally without Dub out there. So, it&#8217;s a little bit more opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But regardless, with that opportunity, I try not to press more or press less. Just let the game tell me what to do. And usually it works pretty well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the days after scoring 37 in Wednesday&#8217;s Game 2 win in Oklahoma City, Gilgeous-Alexander challenged his teammates by reminding them of their struggles in Game 3s on the road during last year&#8217;s championship run.
