I'm going to make myself watch this whole game. I think we can beat them again. And Ayton vs Luka is always fun. GO SUNS!

The perennial league leader in FG% going up against a team that consistently allows opposing centers to shoot twenty points above their average. Tonight, Jordan seeks to become the first player in league history to hit more shots than he attempts.

Really good start so far on both ends. Teams are going to learn quickly not to throw the ball in Mikal’s vicinity. He’s wreaking havoc on the defensive end right now.

Ya'll know that Josh Jackson is shooting 39% from three over our last 15 games?

On 2.5 attempts per game.

Not pretty but we're up 32-28 with 8 minutes left in the 2nd. Good to see the effort on both ends on the 2nd night of a back to back. Ayton is off tonight which I think is fatigue. Just an off game from him. Our wings are carrying us - Jackson, Oubre, TJ getting it done on both ends. Okobo came in and gave us a quick 7 points, but he's clearly not a full time PG. Got burned by Barea on defense a few times too.

Doncic 16 points so far on 5-7 shooting; Ayton 0 points on 0-4. Hmm.

Everything is short for Ayton. It's not like guys like Warren are ever looking to pass to him, and he's not been good at making himself available. He's also fumbled a couple passes and post ups.

Kleber is giving them good minutes. I wouldn't be mad at us trying to steal him from the Mavs this summer.

Ayton will probably kick into gear here soon.

Jackson has played much better as a starter it seems, no stats for me to back that up, just the ol eye balls. Ayton has been a ghost, really liked Meltons defense.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

It's hard to watch Ayton play so badly while Luka is such a delight on the court tonight.
