Booker needs a drug test after this game, and I'm not talking about PED's.

They choked. Bunch of huge turnovers down the stretch. The game was theirs if they had just taken care of the ball.

Sloppy passing in the last two minutes just KILLED them. That and the meltdown where they gave up 12 straight points.

Booker's +/- wasn't much better

That's about the worst end of game execution we had in 2 seasons. We had a chance to break it open right at the 4-5 minute mark and instead just started giving the ball away. Not a lot of poise in this one, especially getting so emotional over the calls. Trent hit some shots early and never cooled off, went for 40. We're actually lucky VanVleet didn't get going too. Trent was unconscious tho and we never got him out of rhythm. He probably hurt himself more with those offensive fouls on his jumpers.

Good to see Biz come in and play as well as he did and I like that we made the adjustment going big instead of sticking with the usual, which wasn't working. Payne played really well and is as tough as they come. Gotta keep the emotions in check tho but that's just part of his game.

Mikal with probably the block of his career on Siakam and it would maybe be the top highlight tonight had we won. The more shots we can get him on the move in the midrange, the better off we'll be. He's automatic there. It'd be nice if he started getting some calls tho, because he's another guy getting knocked around on drives to the basket with no whistle.

Need to find more scoring from the bench. Getting CamJ back will be a big help there.

Biyombo made a difference like I posted earlier, but the turnovers late led to a loss.

Oh well, Lakers on Sunday.

I missed the game. Question, why did we only play Ayton 30 min but Bridges/Booker 37? He wasn't in foul trouble. He was 8-11 so must have been ok on offense?

And how on earth did Gary Trent score 42?

Also, what happened to Torey Craig's offense?
Go Suns!
