Not enough energy or want to. This was the difference maker in games 1 and 2. Finch needs to fire them up. Too bad he doesn’t have a cattle prod.

That didn't last long, now the refs are calling the Wolves for everything. I'd like to see a bit more consistency on how they are calling the game.

Yes, maybe 50 but if Suns can't win a qtr they score 30+ pts, They are done.

A lot is going very right for the Suns right now yet we are still leading. We clean things up and they could be in trouble.

More like the Refs trying to take the Wolves out of it, literally. You want to call every little thing, why not all the offensive fouls on the Suns. They have been pushing off all 3 games.

Naz needs to get over whatever hang ups he has against the Suns. It is a desert, not the 7th circle of hell.

Suns are def looking to push the tempo and get early opportunities. Transition defense will be vital tonight.

Pretty ridiculous free throw disparity in 1st. The contact has been fairly similar on both ends, they just aren't calling fouls on the Suns.

All any Phoenix player needs to do it run into a wolves player and then fall to the floor.

Wolves look like clearly the better team when the Suns aren't getting calls and the Wolves aren't doing dumb ****

The fact that Rudy can't seal Bradley Beal is grinding my gears.
