What a great effort from everyone.

Oubre is probably the best defender we've had since...ever.

23-18 from Ayton.

Says Oubre only had one steal which just tells you how stupid that stat is. I dont know how many turnovers he caused with tipped passes.

What a game. Wow. Haven’t enjoyed a game like that in a long time.

I’m going to like watching Oubre play.

thank Cthulhu !!! It’s happening!

Ayton and four wings can work but only if Ayton keeps on channeling young Dwight Howard and Crawford continues to pass well.

Why can't Warren or Bridges ever pass the ball? So many easy dump-offs to Ayton that never happen.

I was going to post the same thing.

I like both players, but they are deficient passers. That is one of the problems with the roster construction. You can field a bunch wing players, but they have to have the right skillsets to make the small lineups effective, and I don't know if the Suns' wing players have that.

Just abysmal pick n roll defense. We help when we shouldn’t and don’t help when we should

Youth.

Atyon had 8 of Suns 23 offensive rebounds.

Suns out-rebounded Celtics 56-37.

Jeeze the Celtics announcers. They cringe at the fall but then go on to say oh never mind it is all good Kyrie got up. That is all I care about.

They actually said that s***.

Wow.

That is sad.

nice to see Mikal 3pt shot dropping
I read an article today with Igor saying what he likes most about the last 3 games is that they are getting around 20 deflections a game
not sure what number we have so far but to me looks like we clearly doing well again tonight in that area

Ended the game with 34 deflections. Outstanding.

I'm happy for the guys and for Igor. They needed this.

This is a stat that Igor finds important because he talks about it in his post-game interviews quite a bit. I believe the team goal is in the mid-20s.

lol, the ayton highlights include his defensive lapses

The move he made at 5:36 in the 4th is the stuff All-NBA Ayton is made of. That, and his move in the Dallas game where he put it on the floor from the foul line, spun off a defender in the paint and dunked it. Both moves were Dream-like.

I predict another win! Four in a row! Suns are rolling. Never thought I'd say that again.

I Barkley'd the win tonight.

Can't believe that this is the same team I watched 2 weeks ago. What an amazing transformation. The energy on defense is crazy. I hope these guys believe in themselves now. I like what Oubre brings to the table.

Also having to watch the Celtics feed was completely appalling. Even without Heinson it absolutely enraged me. Scalabrine call on TJ hard fall was in such poor taste. Those assholes shouldn't be allowed to broadcast. Disgusting.

Feel free to tweet him @scalabrine

They're game highlights, not Ayton highlights. Some of them take place when Ayton isn't even in the game.

Are Celtics fans OK with this kind of behavior?

This is about the only part of the game i was able to catch, and they legit said this. Unreal.
