Suns up by *30* points here in the 4th. Without our best player, on a B2B, against one of the best teams in the East. Unreal.

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

Time to empty the bench, Ott. Why are important rotation guys still in there?

Dunn is going to have to play better if he wants regular minutes once everyone gets healthy.

We are just deep. This is our first tier bench.

Agree. He stands out at this point as the lowest threat to score on the court with how well everyone else is playing.

Suns win.

It got ugly down the stretch, but a win is a win.

Eleven TOs for the Suns in the fourth quarter.
Second unit of Dunn, Livers and Bouyea looked, well, awful. Bouyea looked hesitant and indecisive as a point.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

Yeah - that garbage time was rough. We couldn’t break a press.

The rest of the game was awesome, though. What a fun team.

This team is something else. Taking out two of the top teams in the East on back to back nights. Amazing.

But that fourth quarter team tried to spoil it a little by playing the worst garbage time basketball I think the Suns have ever played. At least in my memory.

Oh, and Jalen Green looked good out there. Big scare but amazing comeback on the night from it. I hope he's not too sore tomorrow and he can play Sunday. I'll be at that game.
