You meant 27 min. right?
Well the Suns were out-rebounded 49-42...19-13 on the offensive boards. I don't think it had anything to do with their 'offensive efficiency' - the Suns just shot 30 3-pointers (making 13) to the Blazers' 13 (making 6). That's a difference of 21 points (or at the
very least 7 assuming that the Blazers' made a 2 for every 3 the Suns made, which probably wasn't the case). Also, the Blazers just didn't take care of the ball - 20 TO's...that's just awful.
