His 7 assists are nothing?

I'll take 4 shots 9 assists and 1 turnover from KD anyday. Get the other guys in rhythm, KD can take over anytime if he needs to.

We make some of the dumbest passes.

Having Beal back allows Book to be a lot more aggressive on offense. Looking forward to the next Suns next game.

Looked better, point Book needs to be done Suns looked the best when he is at SG and worse when he 8s as PG he just holds the ball way too long you only get one action out of a possession

Big 3: 1-2
Book/KD: 9-6
Book/Beal: 1-0

The bonus here? Beal survived this one unscathed and gets to play again on Sunday.

It's only the Hornets, but nice to see all of Big 3 with 7+ assists. Add EG hitting 7+ 3s and it's an almost guaranteed win against any team.

Stay healthy.

I’ve seen enough of last two games to post a favorite gif of mine.

He looks in pre-pre-season form. Still, better ramp up slowly than get injured again.

I'd say he did based on how the rest of the team played.
He'll get his legs under him eventually and still has only played a handful of games this year. He has to build that chemistry. He'll have big games eventually.

Fair point and it's less mileage on him as well. Be nice if he can get some rest once Beal is fully locked and loaded.

Fun game. Hornets are a bad team but the Suns needed this with Beal playing.

It’s nice we got a break in the schedule after that brutal loss to the Mavs. Rockets on the 2nd night of back to back, Hornets, Magic and Blazers. We should be able to win 4 in a row through the game with the Blazers. Then mostly tough teams for rest of the month.

I enjoyed this one.

Book was our best scorer but KD was our best player. Damn, his efficiency is ridiculous.

Nurkic with a great game, 24p and 15r. Gordon scoring from 3 like a machine.

Beal wasn't impressive but it's his first game back so it's not a big deal.

We look like contenders again.
