Yeah, the shooting won't be sustainable. I'm sure they will take care of the ball better in the 2nd half (the Wolves) and their defense will step it up a notch.

Refs allowing the Wolves to get physical with Book.Wolves hitting a lot of sneaky, momentum changing 3's to not let the Suns get too far out ahead.I don't like it.

Eubanks is such a coward. Go straight up, dude! You getting bailed out by Allen was just lucky.

Towns making some bad passes. I've noticed Edwards always has a lot of turnovers.

Now they've stolen the momentum back and cut the lead in half. So we maintain or fold?

They are shooting better but we've taken 18 more shots. They have 19 turnovers in the first half. That's crazy.

Forcing turnovers and good 3 pt shooting is giving us this lead. This is pretty rare.

Hopefully we look better with Nurkic back in the mix. And hopefully, Gobert doesn't flop around but obviously Nurkic needs to just play smarter.

These Wolves announcers whine more than most.Strange game by the refs.They're calling the Wolves for offensive fouls, but letting them run up and tackle the Suns on the other end.

It's gonna be interesting to see if we keep Edwards out of the paint in the second half. We have made a terrific job on him, his dribble penetration have been invisible out of couple times.

Return to Phoenix Suns
