Jackson was the only one who had a bad game by the numbers, but I'll deal with his mistakes that are a result of playing hard.

Agree on Jackson, but I don't really want to let Bender off the hook for tonight. He will see himself on film in the next practice, I think.

jackson gets in trouble to do too much as there isnt much offense on the bench. Though i like james better off the bench. Jackson's handles will get better and those To's should go down

It's the year of TJ Warren, baby! Great game from him and Booker, obviously. Look at the +/- of the starters vs the bench. Wow.

So, is Ulis now the new starting PG? I think so.

Tonight was a great win. The TWolves are a very good team and played well but the Suns were en fuego.

yes this is the good part about the win, it surely doesn't fall under the category of "Good team played down to our level/ came in not ready to play" any of those kinda narratives. Wolves definitely played a solid game and we were able to outlast them

I think it's a fluid situation. I'm sure he'll start for the time being, but I wouldn't be surprised to see James starting again at some point.

A few things I forgot to mention last night, but we’re good signs.

We have played the most games so far this season. For those wondering why Triano hasn’t gotten his system in place yet, well, we really haven’t had the practice time.

Despite that, we executed much better last night on both ends of the court. It wasn’t all scramble and energy, we ran plays and found guys on defense.

I think Triano has found his top 9, and Daniels is the odd man out. He will still play situationally, but I think Jackson will get more and more of his minutes.

Booker lead the Suns in rebounding and assists, while shooting super well and playing a ton of minutes. This kid just keeps building his game.

Sad I missed this game as it looks like it was a good one.

Good to see Booker and Warren had huge games.
I also liked that Chriss played well. If he can consistently protect the rim, rebound, and hit his 3's, I can live with his other mistakes.
Jackson had a rough game in the box score, but it sounds like it was a good rough game. He played hard and shots just didn't fall.

I agree. Ulis is just shooting so poorly this season. I think they are trying to jump start him and aren't sure what else to do.
Go Suns!

Jackson definitely played hard, but he was out of control. A lot of activity. Not much achievement.

It seems like he, Bender and Chris all have the same weakness of ballhandling in traffic.

That last deep block (from distance) by Chriss was a thing of beauty and had a real impact towards us winning the game last night.

It's nice to see Chriss making some good defensive plays. He's been so foul-prone this year and I've been worried about him on that end of the floor. He will need to be a plus defender to get extended minutes at the 4 for us going forward.
