In this game, the Suns' new starting backcourt player Jordan Goodwin faced his old team and was simply unstoppable.

The stability of his outside shooting is also worthy of recognition. He also has certain passing ability and organizational ability. Goodwin, who got a lot of playing time and shooting opportunities, has fully proved his strength on the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. The Suns' ability to achieve such a victory with a large number of players resting is also closely related to Goodwin's outstanding performance.

Goodwin joined the Lakers as a two-way contract player in the middle and late stages of last season, but with his outstanding performance, he quickly received a standard contract from the Lakers. After joining the Lakers, Goodwin played a total of 29 times in the NBA regular season, averaging 18.7 minutes per game.
