Bender / Jackson / Len into the game with 4 minutes left in the quarter.

And Jackson with the dunk.

Honestly, I think Bledsoe not playing has greatly improved the offensive flow.

The first thing you notice is that they aren't standing around as much - offensively or defensively.

Better ball movement is such a powerful thing.

Very well run pick and roll by Jackson. That is where you can see his potential shining through. Good stuff from a 20-year old.

Two things....

1) Is it bad I was looking for DeMarcus Cousins on the Kings for the first 3 mins?
2) So good to watch a suns game with nobody loafing around, whining about a foul call, or showboating in the first 8 mins
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

I never thought this team would play defense like this. I guess it's part effort and part Kings offense, but I'm not gonna complain.

Gang - I think we just witnessed the best offense 8 minutes of Chriss' career.

I love Len's defensive rebounding. He gobbles up everything that comes off the rim.

He's the best PG available on the roster right now.

That's the way Bender needs to play on offense. Stop thinking so much and put it up with confidence.

Bender a little slow on the rotation out. He will figure that out.
