In the previous NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 115-102. After this game, the Suns' record improved to 4 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by the Clippers and many teams to rank 9th in the Western Conference; while the Clippers, who had suffered three consecutive losses, had a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was surpassed by many teams and fell to 12th in the Western Conference.

After this game, Suns head coach Jordan Ott accepted an interview with reporters. In the interview, he also talked about Jalen Green, who made his debut on behalf of the Suns in this game and played a wonderful performance. It seems that Ott is also very satisfied with Green's strong performance. He said: I think we may have forgotten that this is his first game of the season. He had not played in a game for a long time, and it was not easy to perform like this immediately after his comeback. He has just experienced ups and downs and has just recovered from injuries. He is eager to play as soon as possible and then find his own rhythm in the game. In my opinion, his performance in this game was exactly what we expected from him.

Ott continued: Green just needs to make the right choices on the court. I don't think it's that important who's got the ball, anybody on our roster can do that. We want everyone to be aggressive on the court. This is the NBA, and if you're not aggressive enough, the defense will feel it right away. So I hope that all five of our players on the court can be threats to our opponents. Our mission is to build a complete system in which every player feels comfortable and can become a threat. I think Jaylen Green does a really good job every time he has the ball and he doesn't force a shot, which is very difficult. Especially when playing with new teammates for the first time, it is really not easy to do this when facing so many emotional fluctuations. I didn't feel like he lost himself on any offense. So we expect him to be extremely aggressive in the coming games like everyone else.

In this game, Green's performance was impressive. Making his debut on behalf of the Suns, he made 10 of 20 shots, 6 of 13 from behind the three-point line, and 3 of 5 free throws in 22 minutes and 58 seconds of playing time. He scored a game-high 29 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He also had 2 turnovers and 1 foul. His plus-minus reached a game-high +30. Green's performance in this game was extremely amazing. Even though his playing time was not too much, he also seized the opportunity to show his value on both offense and defense. Especially on the offensive end, he was killing everyone and was unstoppable. He scored a lot of points through various methods, which was also a key factor in the team's victory.
