Maybe Booker and Paul were worried they wouldn't get any playing time in the 4th.

What a God awful end to the quarter. These refs became fucking terrible after the Jokic offensive foul.
No, they earned them.
I disagree. Those were some blatant gift calls.
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’s true but the Suns really didn’t read the situation very well during that period either. The refs were looking for offensive fouls and we kept giving them a chance to call them on us.

Pretty good stretch on defense but we just couldn't hit shots. Paul, Bridges, Cam all missing on some good looks.

Paul forcing things but DA was huge on O and D to protect the lead there. Can play.

It was a good call from Monty to give Ayton a breather - he looked pretty gassed before he went out. Hopefully he can finish strong once he’s back in

This last little bit hasn’t been that fun as the lead gets down to 5

Offense has gone cold. This is why we have Book and CP3. They are gonna have to win this game.

We getting tired? Or did Jokic going out with 5 fouls cause us to lay off the gas a bit? Been rough since then. This is when Paul and Book need to bring is home though.

Book is going to need to take care of the ball and hit foul shots down the stretch to get us home.

I think we are pretty tired generally. A lot of shots missing short and a few mental errors as well. Need to stay strong and gut it out from here.

Booker's leading the league in turnovers and has 6 more tonight.

I blame Kendall Jenner for Booker’s mixed start to the season.
