Good start, up 15-8. Book already has 7, Gordon 5. Book does a nice job of "staying mad" and getting revenge after a tough loss.

Except Nurkic can't make a FT or a basket and they've tied it

Just trap Booker, every chance you get. He'll turn it over 50% of the time.

Up 59-50 at the half. Offense looks rough when Book is resting, but Gordon is having a nice night with 14 pts. Metu also getting extended minutes and putting up some nice buckets against his former team.

It sucks to have some of our Big 3 out, but I think these games will give more of a role and minutes to our other guys. It'll pay off later this season.

Glad Metu is showing his stuff. Eric with some timely bail out 3s. Hope Little is okay

Strong close to the half but we're relying on Book to do everything and it's hurting us. Would rather see Goodwin get more minutes and run some actual offense for everyone than Book getting doubled at halfcourt and our spacing going to hell. We're just too easy to defend when Book is overdribbling. Our 3pt defense needs to kick in because we gave up a lot of open looks and were late on closeouts.

Metu played well in his minutes, figured we'd need him and he's done well around the basket on both ends. Nurk is more aggressive with his offense and taking it to Sabonis which is fun to watch. Thought his and Eubanks' defense has been really good.

Book is looking good and aggressive tonight. I like to see it. Now, let's keep the energy up for the 2nd half and win this thing. I don't know about Book doing everything. Feels like more of a team to me tonight when we don't have both Book and Durant. We need to play like this even with all our superstars so the opponents can't concentrate on them.

Suns dropping like flies. Little out with a possible concussion and Nurk just went to the locker room after two hits to the face from Sabonis.

I'm not either even though they are local to me. But I turned on the end of their game while waiting for the Suns game to start. I'm glad I don't have to do that too often.
