The Phoenix Suns face a 2-0 deficit in their first-round series with the Oklahoma City Thunder, but things are far from over as things shift to The Valley for Games 3 and 4.

Do Suns have hope vs. Thunder after Jalen Williams Injury?

With the team looking to make adjustments to get back into the series, could a lineup change in the form of Khaman Maluach be the answer?

PHNX Suns talks about what the team could do moving forward through the lens of lineup changes before being joined by Nekias Duncan of The Dunker Spot to get into more details of the series, the impact of Jalen Williams’ absence and what Phoenix can do to make things interesting against a juggernaut Oklahoma City team.
