Upon rewatching the replay of the last possession some 20-odd times, it's really a spectacular shot by Booker. He had *both* Kawhi and George right next to him, arms up, trying to block his shot, but he faded back over both of them and swished it. Just a spectacular game-winner. Maybe the best win of his career, or certainly one of them. So proud of the dude.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

That game tying 35 foot turnaround 3, turning away from the hoop against milwaukee is up there. This won the game though, so it wins.

Kawhi's visible frustration after the shot is the second best part.

Pacers next, it’s only fair that TJ sits out with a mysterious injury...he can come back the next game...actually screw that, let’s stomp them with TJ in.

Refs giving this game to the Clips in the 2nd half. And Ayton is just getting clowned.
We played well enough last game to overcome the refs, crossing fingers and toes lol
It takes back to back miracles. But we do it.

If you freeze the clip with George defending Book at the apex, it's maybe less than an inch of space. They just don't get much closer than that and you can see Book get some extra lift on the shot just to get it up and over.

I always worry about Book's offensive abilities against the bigger swings, specifically George at 6-9 and Kawhi 6-8 with those wingspans, but nothing and no one can stop him.

Does anyone else hear a whistle about a second before they actually blow the whistle?
YES! Every time.

Is this the best basketball we’ve played since when? I guess maybe those first 7 games, or maybe 2013-14
Surely in a while cuz I'm here a lil disappointed we are only up 6 after those few minutes
Lou isn't sharp so that lineup was just stop PG and we could have done better

Anyways let's see if Book can lead us home 8-)
Uh... YEAH!

One of the most difficult and clutch game winners I've ever seen from a Suns player. Incredible.
