Place: Capital One Arena, Washington, DC

Wizards are coming off a win last night in DC and two in a row for the first time this season. Suns will be without Williams due to the one game suspension and Allen due to the fact he's made of glass.
Phoenix, under first-year coach Jordan Ott, is the first team in league history with 410 3-pointers and 325 steals through the first 30 games of a season. They lead the league with 336 steals in 31 games.

I really like Coulibaly. Gonna be a player. Sarr’s had a great season too.

Book's 3 ? His free throw shooting concerns me more. He used to be automatic from the free throw line.

Washington is a bit of a trap game. They're playing a little better, winning 4 of their last 7 after an awful start.

It's pretty clear now why they chose to keep Goodwin over Jared Butler.

Nick Richards really stinks. I’d much rather take my lumps with some shaky Maluach minutes.

Nice bounce back second quarter after shooting a frosty 29% in the first.
Goodwin and Gillespie are the hot shooters, while Book and Brooks are a collective 8-24.
Richards is getting boards, but is 1-7 from the field (oof).
For DC, Tre Johnson is living up to his name, 4-4 from the arc. He's dangerous from 30 ft. in ...

Decent 1st half. 1st qtr was slow but we picked it up in the 2nd. 13 offensive rebounds to their 2 has been the difference. Goodwin's brought the juice off the bench for us,

Steven Hunter vibes. I think Nick's right for the minutes over Maluach right now as the NBA game still seems too fast for him.

He might be one of those guys who doesn't play well without consistent minutes, and with Williams and Ighodaro ahead of him he's only getting sparce minutes.

We are getting good Royce today: 4-5 from 3. Oso has 9 big rebounds so far. I wish they would just try ManMan on nights like this.

Refs are helping Wizz get back into the game.

Nice win, they started slowly, but built up a lead in the 2nd quarter and never really were threatened in the 2nd half.

OK, Oso doesn't suck.

Great win. Too bad the refs won't give Booker any calls. He gets fouled, no call. On ticky tack plays, Booker got the whistle blowed against him every time.

Same refs as the Lakers game. Book can only laugh it off.

I love this team. They really started pulling away when things got a little chippy. To borrow from the Hulk, you won't like this team when they are angry.

Better than that bullshit "unbothered" crap.
