Feels like the first blowout game Suns have had since with KD/Booker since the trade in February. Might be wrong but haven’t really had all that many. Nice game so far, everyone’s contributed well and smart basketball today. Booker is Booker, hasn’t missed a beat.

Minnesota is also a pretty good team this season. They’re definitely tired on back to back with Suns having 2 days of rest of but Minnesota is still a team with the best defense in the league.

Hope we can expand the gap here and put it away for good early in the 4th.

Unless you get flat tired during a game, I don't see how your shoe comes off. And twice in a game?

Apparently the Wolves got in at 4am last night.

We turn into a G league team every 4th quarter, surely it's gotta be mental at this point.

There goes our chances of seeing Bol Bol play some real minutes tonight.

Nurk looks like he doesn't want to play

And here they come, courtesy of careless play and lack of focus. Yeah, were up by 20+ right now... but that's not to say it couldn't come crashing down as we all know it can. These are our Suns after all. :/

Teams know what we've been in 4th quarters and turn the pressure up. We haven't been able to stand the heat. Let's see if we can show some reliance

Lots of aggressive takes at the hoop, to only pass out rather than take a shot. Way too much standing around and gawking at Durant... as usual. Why can't we keep the player movement consistent? It just seems lazy.

The box score is nuts. Book has a neutral (zero) +/-

lol nurk helps Goodwin up instead of playing defense and Naz just strolls down the lane for a casual dunk

With each game, I get more happy that we have Allen. Dude just PLAYS and does so hard. I've not seen any of his reputed bad/dirty reputation so far this season and am beginning to think it's greatly exaggerated.

What makes this team is Book and KD on the court at the same time. In the KD only games, had you switched KD with Book, I don’t think they would have done much better, if at all.

Book has always been the engine to the Suns. Good to have him back. Our record would be so much different with him on the floor. Maybe the sky is not falling.

No reason KD should be out there playing against these jokers. Come on Frank.

Like all stats, they only tell the truth if you understand the context behind it.

Gotta take KD and Nurkic out now, way too risky up 21 with 3 mins left.

Return to Phoenix Suns
