I'll be honest - when I checked the score with about 4 mins I left I thought we'd lose for sure - So glad I was wrong!!

Joe Ingles is my hero

Who's complaining about Randle?

We are so lucky to win this one. PHX had 19 TOs. We can't trap Booker until late 4th qtr. We were pressing all game long and took a bunch of bad shots. But, a win is a win and love the drama :wink:

Easy win? Timberwolves? Wtf are you talking about? Where have you been the last 20 years???

We made it way harder than it should. Just take the ball out of Booker's hand on defense and give the ball to Randle on offense :wink:

So we are definitely out of trouble? I think I know what you mean. The only thing that was pretty about this game was the artic icy blue uniform.

Just a shame, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal could not play

Is this DLo? Still upset not getting a max contact from Twolves and now got benched and outshine by future ROY Knecht.

I like Dilly trying to pass the ball but he passed up a few open shots or not ready when he did shoot. I think his next phase is to be more decisive on his shots.

What an end to this game. At the start of the 4th it just felt like Phoenix was going to go on a run but fortunately we prevailed (and for the 2nd game in a row, we broke the first to 100 "rule"). Jaden being woeful through the game was bad to see but that slam at the end kinda set the tone for the last few minutes of play. Phoenix seemed rattled. I also think we got a bit lucky as it seemed to me that the shot clock started just an iota late. I'm not going to complain, though.

When you let the other team shoot 54% and still manage to give up 12 offensive rebounds you should probably lose the game.
Somehow our offense eked this one out. Beal and Durant not even playing.

This team's defensive identity is completely gone and doesn't look to ever be returning.
When you have one guy the other team can hunt as mercilessly as they hunt Julius Randle, you're gonna have huge problems.

It's great we were able to make some huge clutch shots in crunch time, even if it was against Booker+scrubs.
But if this is how we are going to have to win games now, it's going to be a very long and painful year.

Saw this one late. Finch had a bad game. He was slow to adjust the offense to the Suns trap defense, (two to the ball,) and he was slow to commit 2 to Booker. Moreover, when they did commit 2 to Booker, the guys struggled to rotate and defend. It seems clear after the last two games Finch doesn’t have a double team defensive scheme this season. 60 then 44 is not a good look for the defense.

P.S, when is the last time the same player hit a half court buzzer beater to end the first half, and a walk off 3 at the buzzer.

Just watch the replay in the morning here. Lucky win, Randle and DDV were hot tonight... Defense is beyond bad right now. Gonna be tough to even reach play off playing this way. But a win is a win. Go Wolves!

I search and can't find any. This maybe the first time ever in NBA. Kobe in 06 had a close Buzzer Beater 2pt in regulation (with .7 seconds left after the shot) and a OT 2pt buzzer beater to win a playoff game vs Suns.

Found Mario Hezonja in 2016 had one 3s in 1st and one 3s in 3rd vs OKC
