Can't let Tatum get hot. Need DA to play big too and make them pay inside if Thompson and Theiss are out there. Grant and Robert Williams are widebodies down low so we might miss Crowder today. Carsen Edwards can light it up too.

Bridges on Tatum could be the key to who wins

Europe in the house! Go Suns!!! Tatum usually struggles against Bridges. Hope it stays that way. Key matchup for today.

I'm expecting the Suns to come out with energy - this is the first time there will be a small number of fans in the arena - gotta be a nice change of pace for them on their home floor. If they can be balanced on offense and reduce the amount of turnovers compared to the last game, I'm feeling good about it.

Not to mention no Marcus Smart or Jaylen Brown
He needs to punish them in the midrange

Good start. Refs get your Head in the game. That was a obvious offensive goaltend.

Nice start to the game on both sides. Frank looks good on a few cuts to the rim for scores and then made a nice pass to a cutting Bridges for a dunk. Seeing a bit more BookPoint early on with good results. Bridges with a corner 3 and then a nice take for a scoop lay in.

3s falling early. Might be the homecourt. Nice to see for Cam and Mikal.
