Ayton cannot be getting his first rebound with 3 and a half minutes to play in the third.

Rough third quarter. How are ancient Chris Paul and the Thunder outrunning and outhustling us so much? They seem to want the ball and rebounds much more than we do, and they are much better about pushing the pace. Frustrating to watch.
Nice to see some of our "TJ" backup guards (Ty Jerome and Tyler Johnson) contributing tonight.
Saric has given us nothing. And Bridges, his starter replacement, is also quite a dud. Maybe that lineup swap isn't going to work? I still like starting Saric because he's more of a traditional PF. I wouldn't mind playing Bridges in the closing-5 lineup in place of Saric on nights when he's playing well.

Why does Gallinari hate is so much?

I’m so happy the Suns fought back to take the lead. I heart was sinking when they went down 10.

It felt like we should have been up comfortably at half time and down at theee-quarter time. On balance, i’ll take the two-point lead. Over to you Book ....

Ty Jerome is starting to look really comfortable and impressive on the court.

14-2 run to close the 3rd after the Thunder went on a 15-2 run I think. Jerome and Carter have given the team a boost tonight. This team doesn't give up. Playing some pretty good defense overall even tho we're really undersized. Thought we should've looked for Ayton more when Noel was in the game. Ayton's got like 2 boards so that's cool.

Really impressed that they've fought their way back. Ty Jerome looks way more comfortable out there; fun to see.

Tyler Johnson went straight to the lockerroom after a recent play. Didn't see what happened, might've been favoring his right arm?

Yep, we could be up double figures if not for those. Oubre not being able to inbound off a made basket was especially frustrating

He’s not been great tonight. Adams and Noel are in his head a bit, I think

Winning this game would be significant if only because they usually can't pull out these close ones.
