Probably the most unlikable Suns team of all time. Whoever enjoys watching this team play is lying through their teeth.

I enjoy Bol Bol playing well.

That’s the only player I enjoy watching. Bol Bol truly gives 100% on the court and I can respect that. I might get his jersey if I can find one online. :(

Gotta keep pressing this lead for the eventual 4th qtr letdown.

No. It's not the 4th quarter just yet.

Nice to see the Lakers getting worked on their floor, but we all know the Lakers will always be in it thanks to the officials... especially in the fourth. The recent TOR game should show that quite definitively.

Feel like this is the best Beal has looked so far. He's had more points before this season but he hasn't looked this aggressive before. The guy is getting after it for sure.

Booker has looked ultra aggressive and I think that's the best way to get other guys open looks.

You mean he's looking to score rather than taking 22s to walk the ball up and set up a JO corner 3? haha

WHo doesn't love a 7ft Nurk bringing the ball up and calling for 7-3 Bol Bol to post up the mismatch

Let's hope we've built enough of a buffer to not lose this game in the 4th (or beyond)

Pretty weak to see the Lakers raise the white flag so fast and not even try to fight back with their starters.

Official petition to cut the 4th quarter from NBA games.

I think if they were down 20, they would've been "within striking distance" going into the 4th.

They've been fun to watch tonight.

They're close enough after going on a 10-0 run and cutting the lead down from 30. They're honestly not that out of it yet and we're notoriously horrible in the fourth.
