This was already lining up to be a decisive win with Edwards out. Wolves are slumping and have had a lot of trouble with turnovers lately.

Glad to see our guys focused from the start, just don't let up.

Frustrating we can't seem to string together any stops.

Oso having a great game so far with 16 and 7 already. But kind of a frustrating game to my eyes. Jalen Green is shooting a horrid 3-15, Gillespie 2-8, Booker 7-17. Fleming having a nice game with 8 points on 3-5 shooting. Good to also see Dunn get some runn and he's made a few nice plays. Maluach also getting some minutes and had a nice block but it was ruled a goaltend. It kind of sucks to see B-tier players like Randle and Bones Hyland cook us.

Feels like the Suns kind of lost control of the game here in the 3rd quarter. Only down 6 but the vibes are not good.

I don't know why Book and other key players are still in; this game is very over.

Jalen Green has settled in enough not to go 3-17. Dude needs to look in the mirror. Pathetic showing tonight.

Bad shooting night.

J Green was NOT good on this 2nd game of a back to back.

Anyone have insight on when Mark Williams will return ? We need him in the paint desperately.

Another game where role players start out well and then just disappear.

The loss isn't on just one guy. But if Jalen Green could find a way to shoot 9-17 instead of 3-17, we would win games like this.

Suns seem to let teams have their way on the paint when Oso starts.

It’s not on Oso. For some reason we’re determined to start him with 4 littles. There’s no back line support. And he has to protect the paint and man the boards. Give the man some (starting) Help!

If you’re going to keep starting Gilly then they NEED to start Fleming. Just too small.

That was fun. Started strong and then got progressively worse.

Ah, so it's your fault. It was a decisive win alright. Wolves now up three games on us.
