Maybe the best quarter of the season.

I see that all the time. The way he moves on the court and his stature are very similar to DA. Gives me PTSD sometimes.

Exorcise those Dallas demons, Book!

Okogie has earned his roster spot with this game IMO.

Yeah the stats and shooting isn't there, but you need someone that will Bruce Bowen a guy out there all game long.

Doncic being allowed to continually run his mouth without fear is pretty pathetic. Way too much chirping going on seemingly without much fear of repercussion.

Their hands are nearly identical.

Man Beal really took Grayson's role on this game.
A lot of hard fouls and going aggresive after Doncic.
Love to see.

Suns are on an 38 point turnaround after halftime. Everything is going in for Booker he’s looking great these past week. Okogie is playing well too hope he can keep it up we are gonna need his defense in crucial moments. Now let’s not lay an egg in the 4th and win our 7 straight game. Cavs already lost so we could have the longest winning streak in the league.

Looking that way especially against Mavs on the road and being down by 16 at halftime.

Man, Kleber still picking up KD's fullcourt.
This is crazy

Don't let up. Make that crying Doncic go back into the lockerroom for an early shower. I'm sure Grant Williams will be there to have a good cry together with him.

What a behind the back pass by Metu wish Okogie nailed that three.

Luka might retire after tonight

We had them at nearly a 30 point deficit. This game isn't quite out of reach yet and we cannot afford to take our foot off their necks. They've had threes start falling and now Doncic hits on a three point play. That 30ish point lead is now 18.

Time out Vogel.
4th quarter troubles continue

Blonde · Post #156 » by **Blonde** » Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:45 am

Get Book back out there to close it out

Yea you need to make that and Beal needed to make that 2nd 3 when he got another chance.
The wide open misses are aggravating.

Hasn't taken Dallas long to cut our lead by half. They're at home, so this isn't over. If their crowd gets back into it, we could actually be in trouble and just languishing in the glow of what was assumed to be a statement win.

SunsRback4Good · Post #159 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:46 am

Can’t afford turnovers or Luka going off inside the paint. Great timeout by Vogel. Let’s see how we react after the TO. We could seriously put the game away in next 2-3 possessions.

Agreed! Good thing we build a big enough lead to afford a couple of open misses.

Will Suns streak be extended? And who will lead our team in assists?
