If it's the play I'm thinking of, Warren picked up his man and Chriss took awhile to figure out who to pick up and Ingles was left uncovered for a bit.

Ulis having a strong scoring game, and Len is being a big man out there. Josh Jackson not doing too much so far.

It's so much more fun to watch this team now that Watson is gone. Breath of fresh air.

It was an awesome half of defense for the Suns. It's just the Jazz, but it's nice to have a half where we can be aggressive and learn through some success.

You know I don't think I've seen Chandler fall back on a drive this game. Is all the youthful energy infecting him?

He looked inspired the last two games.

TJ having a much better quarter.

Kevin Ray is much better to listen to. He just does play-by-play without a bunch of stupid phrases.

That was a flop by Rubio at the end of the half. He should get fined for that.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Finishing over Gobert is too much to ask of James.
Go Suns!

A lot of ticky tack fouls on us. Come on refs.

Chandler with 2 quick fouls in the 3rd, so Len and Bender are in a lot earlier than usual.

At this point, everyone on the Suns has a positive +/-, and everyone on the Jazz is negative. Starters and bench are both playing well.

Up 14 after a Ulis basket out of the timeout.

By far the best Suns basketball I have watched in a long time.

I love Benders Defense.

Our defense can be sexy at times. Jackson and Bender switching like its nothing covering guards.

How did we get beat so bad by this same team in the pre-season? Is firing the coach really that much of a moral boost?
