Way too many second chance opportunities for TOR. So many rebounds dropping right into their hands under the basket.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Nurk with another game with too many TOs and fouls. Maybe he's tired. Anyway, they took care of business in must win game. Next three will be tough.

yea I’ve been wanting an up tempo pace for a while, I don’t know why we are playing all this half court turn the ball over with no PG crap. Bummed GA only ended up with 8 3’s after I saw the news flash of 8 in the first.
I hate this team.

They didn't, but Warriors loss to Bulls in home is priceless.

Spurs and Heat just fell short of helping out the Suns, so it's extra important that the suns took care of business in a must win game. We still have our fate in our own hands.

Suns still play the Kings once and waterbirds twice, those games will determine who holds the tie breaker.

The kings and babycows will face each other twice, potentially eliminating one of those teams from a top 6 spot.

The kings and birds will also still place each other once.

It was a must win and we executed it.

The game was never in jeopardy and it was cool to see another high efficient game from KD and another 8 three's game from Grayson.

Beal played well and Bol took an step in the right direction with this performance, he played better than in the last two games.

37-26...to the next one.

I'm not too concerned about how we couldn't blow this team out. Any team is capable of beating any team, on any given night.
Not to make things sound rosey but this is a game we likely lose earlier in the season. Big lead early, looking great, and then slowly give it away in the end. We held on which was important.
Little efforts like Beals behind the back block are important to see.

Could have looked ahead to Boston but they didn't.

Match under control even if we win only couple points

Grayson king of threes , EG king of airballs and missing open shoots

Good performance from Bol and Beal

Return to Phoenix Suns
