Meanwhile, Arizona had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 23.6 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Saturday. They walked away with an 88-80 win over the Knights.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league.
