I think Ott misplayed the 4th bringing Book back in early to try and seal the game. Should've kept the bench in to keep the pressure on. Now Book's playing most of the 4th in a close game.

Can't have Brooks handling the ball late in a close game. Book or CG need to be bringing the ball up.

Dang, may have just given this one away with a few mistakes down the stretch.

Whatever the 3rd quarter was the 4th quarter has been the opposite.
Go Suns!

Going back to this. This is exactly what lead to momentum change. Damn.

Atlanta up 3, they take the intentional foul so we can't try for a 3. Smart.

We gave up 46 points in the 4th quarter. What the actual fuck was that.
Go Suns!

Disappointing collapse. Looked like we had it in the bag, but that 4th was horrible. Hopefully they can learn from it.

Dammit. We let up in the 4th. It's like we had it in cruise control. None of that hustle and grit.

Book made multiple dumb errors at the end of that game.

I had something else going on, but saw we took a 20 point lead and turned it on at the end to enjoy a nice win…that was a mistake…Booker specifically fell asleep on a few defensive possessions in a row…also a couple really bad fouls to give them and-1s…that was rough…though Royce did almost win it at the end with that heave lol

That was a heart breaker for sure. I really want to know what Brooks did to get the technical during the injury timeout

He and Booker were not happy with the ref as they were walking off the floor either…won’t be surprised if a fine is incoming.

I thought his minutes were great. He was clutch.

That hurt. Especially after that epic third quarter run. Suns learned a lesson though. You can never relax.

I guess all the KD stink isn't gone yet. Shame.
