A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when Suns forward Yuta Watanabe makes an incredible play.
The new Suns star went all out coming off the bench in the 21 minutes he played on Saturday night vs. the Jazz. At one point during the game, Watanabe stole the ball off an opponent and brought it back to Phoenix’s side of the court and made a layup. The Suns bench was in awe.
A photo of Suns star players Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal reacting to this Watanabe play went viral after the game. The photo, taken by The Arizona Republic’s Patrick Breen, shows Beal holding Durant and Booker back while they all shout.
