The Suns were playing the beautiful game on Thursday night.
Phoenix, playing its patented style of team ball, held off a hard-charging Bucks team to capture Game 2 of the NBA Finals, taking a 2-0 lead as the series moves to Milwaukee.
In one unbelievable sequence late in the second quarter, the selfless Suns made 12 passes in an effort to find a viable shot against the Bucks' persistent defense.
Star center DeAndre Ayton sealed the incredible possession with a lay-in -- and-one -- after receiving a nifty dish-off from Mikal Bridges with the shot clock winding down.
Suns coach Monty Williams, asked about the play after the game, said sharing the ball is a "pillar" of his team's success.
"It's just who we are," Williams said, calling the sequence a "huge momentum play." He cited his experience as an assistant with the Spurs as a formative experience in his coaching journey.
Suns star Chris Paul said it was indicative of the team's knack for not settling for merely a "good" shot.
"We pass up good shots to get great shots," he told reporters after the game.
Both the Suns' dazzling ball movement and the Bucks' near-suffocating defensive effort left basketball fans on social media astonished.
