Booker should take a week resting.

I am finally caught up after being behind on DVR most of the game. Durant leading us with 20 but mostly seems like he's being patient and not forcing it. I still don't think he should initiate the offense. Nurk with 18 (!) doing a lot of good things, but I really don't want to see us go to him this much. Dunn mostly playing really well too, has had some great defensive plays, is covering Luka, just really valuable to this team immediately. I freaking love this guy. He's going to be one of our "big 3" in a couple years. Tyus also filling the stat sheet with an 8/5/5 so far. We have basically been holding a 10-point lead on the Mavs for a while now; love it. Let's take it home.

Ohhhhhhh NASTY block by Royce O'Neale to end the 3rd.

Ohhhhh ONEALLL

Nurk having a good game. Even if he looks like an ass.

Good third quarter.

I’m about ready to give up on him shooting threes. I don’t think he’s been guarded on one all season. Opponents are happy to let him shoot wide open from the arc.

Win or lose, imo this Suns team has waaaay better efficiency and just overall intangible "feel" and "vibes" than last year. Dunno if we're a title contender but last year felt "off" almost every game from start to finish. Everything was a chore, a slog. This year's team has much more grace, more beauty, more easy buckets, more hustle. Everything just feels more right to me. Still some significant issues to work on, but I am much happier this year so far.

Nurk shooting 3s is a bad idea and we should abandon it. We don't need it from him and he isn't good at them.

Can’t give up on it after 3 games…I do think we need it from him

It's better that he keeps shooting 3s because on misses he won't be the last guy back on defense like he is when he blows a layup.

Nice 9-0 burst

Agreed, I’m not quite ready to give up on it… but I’m getting close.

At least we know Nurkic get pissed when he have a bad game.

Booker must be have more Jenner drama. Looking terrible yet again.

Ya to be fair I don’t think he’ll ever be good at them, but I think he needs to be to be a significant playoff guy for us…that or he needs to finish better

Taking too long to get into sets here, gotta be better.

Closer than I though after seeing the replay, but I think it’ll stay a foul…body contact, though the block up top looked clean

I happily stand corrected

That’s gonna do it, great win!

KD just schooling Luka.

KD had a masterful game: 31 points and 9 rebounds and some huge plays on both ends down the stretch.
