What a great game from Goodwin too
He was a great pickup for the waiver price!

And knowing the Lakers screwed up on him makes it even sweeter!

Goodwin was insane. MVP of the game.

Just stop. We all know you don’t like the guy. You sound like Jeremy. And not in a good way.
You're cute. You don't get to tell me what to do. Feel free to click ignore.

For me it speaks more to Mark's ineffectiveness against stretch bigs

And you’re an ass. Ignored.

And it’s funny you think I’m the only one that feels that way. You’re a thick is old.

Brooks had an amazing 4th quarter. Even if he did lose the ball late. You could tell it ate him up.

I think he played almost the whole 4th quarter with 5 fouls too.

Big stat: Suns out-rebounded Thunder 49-29, 12-2 on offensive boards.

Also outshot Thunder from behind the arc, 40% v 31%

OKC only had two steals in the game.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

That was a terrible turnover too. Just a bad decision. Hard to be that mad when he got us there. As usual he giveth and taketh

Wow. This team. Canadian on Canadian first with Brook's Canadian bakin' and then Book with the heroic three to win it.

When he took it, I was going NO, why are we shooting a three?! Get to your bread and butter but give him credit, he nailed it. Huge win tonight.

Really rough game, but the Suns didn't give up, and they end the 1st half on a really nice run to cut the lead to 7 at half time, 49-42. Maybe that can give them some motivation going into the 3rd quarter.

Despite the nice end-of-2nd-quarter run we are shooting 33% as a team. Almost nobody feels like they're having a good game, though Goodwin has been impressive and putting out a lot of energy. Oso also out there mixing things up, and Book has made a few nice plays. Hopefully they can reset during the halftime break.
Turns out the Suns made a run to end every quarter of the game. Quite impressive.

I just rewatched crunch time on the Thunder broadcast for fun. Royce completely fell asleep on the last possession. Almost cost us big time.
