They missed a flagrant 2 by Beal on Ant. These refs are DIRTY. Didn’t Naz get ejected for the same thing a month ago?

Gréât win! DDV was huge, Randle play well and ANT too. NAZ will loose his starting spot when Rudy is back. His shooting is terrible since few games. Important win tonight we stay in contention for PO.

Aaaaarrrrrrroooooooo!!!!! Great win against a team that's bent on catching up for the play-in. It feels good to get a win over dirty Booker and Beal who keeps on trying to injure our players and coach.

I don't know whether to be excited for the Wolves or really really sad for Phoenix.
I don't think I've ever seen a worse game from Devin Booker.
Whole team is just completely tuned out.
We were awful in the first half and Phoenix should have been up 25 points but they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

We had great hands and were great in the passing lanes but they were just making stupid pass after stupid pass against us.
Dante brought an insane amount of energy in this one on both ends, great to have him back because Mike is cooked.
Tyus Jones only 17 minutes in a game like this is coaching malpractice.

We won the turnover battle 20-8 and that was the difference.

I'm not going to read too much into this win other than you can stick a fork in Phoenix, they're done.

Oh and thank you refs for showing restraint because Ant easily could have had another couple technicals tonight.

I enjoyed the win. But guys we have to talk about why we won. The Suns missed a ton of open 3s. Durant, Booker, Bol, and more just couldn’t put it in. We hit 21 of 52 they hit 13 of 42. We also were able to get takeaways that probably don’t happen against a more motivated and relevant team. This game also saw us start down 21 to 9, saw Jaden shoot 5 of 9 and 2 of 4 from deep (massive drop off in volume on inside the arc shots,) saw Shannon and Clark have very limited contributions, saw bad minutes from Mike, ect… We still have issues, and we should celebrate the win without getting lost in it. We really need Rudy, and we really need to reevaluate Mike’s spot in the rotation.
