Basically no Paul, Ayton, or Booker in the 4th and we still win!

Great win. A little bittersweet without Book but great team win. Dario's best game of the year, Bridges with a ton of big plays, Nader with some big 3s, Ayton gave us a good first half but the Lakers weren't a great matchup for him.

Really good win. Really crappy game.
That pretty much sums it up.

I love watching Saric play. My goodness, he put the team on his back in the 4th.

Monty sending a pretty clear message to Ayton
Not sure is it was a message or just riding what was working. Ayton was playing well before he went out for the most part.

Weird to interview DA after this game...though I’m sure that was set up before the game.

The Lakers kept Harrell out late to force the Suns to match up small, which they were happy to do because the Suns' smalls > the Laker's smalls.

He did have a nice connection with Book a few times there before Book got ejected.

Suns are deep and dangerous. So satisfying imagining the Lakers "fans" trying to figure out who the Suns had playing in the fourth.

He was on the bench because it was winning time and they needed someone with basketball IQ to be on the court.

Lakers flopping more than a bad Euro soccer team.

Don’t mean to offend, just a popular nickname for Saric on Twitter and Reddit. I’ll tone it down going forward.
