Bench playing well. Have no fear though the starting unit will get in and lose it for us. :)

Bender's shot is looking good tonight. Suns with the lead! Bender up to 17 on the night. What's his career high?

I've been watching this one while helping the wife make dinner. Balanced scoring for us so far. Minny's neon jerseys are a real eyesore. Nice to see us with a lead here halfway through the 4th against a better team.

I don't get why they have Towns out there shooting 3s. He's such a huge big man; shouldn't he be closer to the basket?

Be curious if we keep him. Very nice to have his shooting but we might want to see what Reed can do and Reed plays D. Pretty much any team would love to have Daniels at the end of their bench for the playoffs

tough for Ulis dislocating his finger but he should be Ok , didn't think he should have been in to close out
Canaan has struggled last couple minutes also, we took too long to get into the sets and Wolves locked us down

that was better getting a quick attack by TJ

A guy on a 10-day is running point at crunch time in the 4th Q of a close game.
Go Suns!

We have so many bad players we can rotate a few out each game to just sit on the sidelines. It really is quite impressive.

I missed why Mike James didn't play. Injury?

Well, Ulis went out with the dislocated finger and James hasn't played, so the was really only one choice.

This is Bender's best game shooting wise. 6-10 from the field. 5-8 from 3. 17 points. Only 2 rebs though.
Go Suns!
