Described on multiple occasions as the “tone-setter” for the Phoenix Suns’ defense on March 14, 2025, Ryan Dunn eventually found that the pace with which he moved offensively was also a tick too quick for the Sacramento Kings. Moving as if the television were in “fast forward” on a DVR machine, Phoenix’s No. 28 pick works urgently in a pick-and-roll slip, immediately pivoting towards the rim in hopes of taking advantage of a pocket pass. Uncovered, with no legitimate threats impeding his runway to the rim, Dunn closes the possession with exclamation, catapulting into a one-handed rim-rocker over Jake LaRavia’s late contest. Back in the Suns’ rotation, Dunn helped Phoenix orbit towards victory, using a 33-minute start to record 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, four steals, two treys, and a +5 plus-minus. The victory helped Phoenix pull to within one-and-a-half games of the Western Conference’s final Play-In spot with 15 matchups remaining. · Mar 15, 2025
