- Booker's got to play better perimeter defense

- Johnson has to find his shot or he needs to grab some bench

- Kaminsky and Saric together on the defensive end just doesn't work

The Suns have failed to cover as 10+ point favorites in their last four games. The most recent cover was a 134-106 win against Washington as a 13.5 point favorite on April 10th.

They're currently a 12.5 point favorite today. Who's willing to put a little cash on the Cavs?
Well.......... technically they did cover.

The Suns shattered the OT point spread record though.
My data goes back to the 2004-5 season.
The biggest road favorite OT cover in those 17 seasons until today was March 15 this year when Milwaukee (-8.5) beat Washington by 11 in OT
The biggest home favorite OT cover in those 17 seasons until today was Nov 10 2019 when Portland (-9) beat Atlanta, also by 11 in OT
The Suns blew those out of the water today :)

I think Paul is joking. Size 8 is really small for a guy his height, and we'd probably have heard about it before now if it were true.

I need more of that Cam in my life. The bench reaction was hilarious too.

I am in the hospital and couldn't catch the game live. I was planning on watching the bally's stream after my daughter went to sleep, but accidentally saw a tweet notification about OT. So I took 10 minutes and watched the last 3 minutes of regulation and then OT. Holy shit that was amazing. And I am glad I didn't sit through the first 45 minutes of this game.

Think he was 0-8 before hitting a 3 and getting this dunk in OT...but he was about the only one defending in the 4th Q..

Our guys really love playing a full 48 huh.
48? Pfft! Make it 53.

I think I figured it out. The Suns don't get enough practice time so they like to practice different situations in-game. OTs this time. I think they got that down pretty good.

Mikal pissed he let Okoro score and decided to win this one by himself in OT
Pretty much. He took over defensively in OT. Pretty amazing really.

Outscored them 20-4 in OT. Unreal.
I think we scored the first 15 points.

Man, can you imagine having money on that game? From nail biter to blowout in 5 OT minutes.
