74 at the half, up 20. Good ball movement and active defensively. A few lulls but nothing the Pels could do anything with. Gotta see if we can sustain it for another half. Thought we did a good job containing Zion.
Yep. A few sloppy passes near the end of the half from Book and especially Durant but other than that, very strong.

I've never seen a team so reckless with the ball. Just lazy passes, completely unnecessary.

Time to see what I've been missing, had to watch Caitlin Clark end LSU.

The inevitable rash of TOs and a Pels run has the lead down to 13 heading into the 4th.

Damn I wish Nurk could finish in the paint.

It’s just an auto foul when Zion takes a shot

A lot of these have been fouls, but not all of them against Zion

Not a pretty W, but a W...not using his bench sufficiently, IMHO...

Suns got the W. Now it's back home for Cleveland.

Can't underestimate the Cavs because it'll be a second night of a back to back as they play Utah first. Gotta handle business, period.
