Monty Williams played Bismack Biyombo instead of Jock Landale as the backup five to help match Knicks' size and physicality in Sunday's 116-95 win.
Jock Landale understands Monty Williams must make coaching decisions he feels gives the Phoenix Suns the best chance to win every game.
Landale also noted Williams didn’t know his family was in town, but they’ll be around for a couple of weeks as the Suns play the second of their four-game homestand Tuesday against the Lakers.For now, the final result of Williams’ decision is what’s most important to Landale. “It was strictly about the size had,” said Williams about his decision to play Biyombo instead of Landale. “I thought those guys are so doggone big, not that Jock can’t play with those guys, but Biz has physicality. He plays with great energy, and we just felt like he was a bit more physical for those matchups."
The Jazz scored 134 points in a one-point victory Friday over Phoenix. It’s the most points the Suns had allowed this season."Coming into tonight with a different mentality and different approach,” Biyombo said. “Credit the coaches for putting us in the right positions, giving us the right game plan to execute and then we just got out there and executed. At the end of the day, I don’t think it’s about who plays and who is not playing.
“It’s one of those things that could change the next game,” Williams added. “We’ll just do our best to make the right calls when we can, and it wasn’t anything foundational. It was just something that we felt for today.”
