Didn't get to watch the game because I fell asleep. Night shift starts tomorrow so I needed the nap to stay up all night tonight. I woke up and saw we were up 110-105 with 40 seconds left and thought, well we got this, good win. Didn't realize we were down 17 at one point, good comeback from our guys. Wish I could watch the game as it seemed entertaining.
Here's some B-Knight highlights!

One thing I noticed is Bledsoe is loving Knight He absolutely believes in his running mate when he shoots the three as seen at the 2:57 mark & 3:33 mark.

Also what happened to Warren & Chandler? Both played significantly less minutes than usual. Is Hornacek just trying new rotations? Or was he trying to find the hot hand and kept Leur/Telly in?
Telly/Leur are prototypical Suns stretch 4 players. Glad Mirza is starting to hit his shots, because when he doesn't he just looks like a horrible player. Got a little less than a month before some interesting trades may happen, or at least trade rumors will be bound to pop up.

Well Warren was coming off an illness. Not sure about Chandler tho, my guess is Horny just went with what was working.

Well Chandler got a flagrant foul at one point, but then Len came in and played really well....I mean he was fighting for rebounds, hitting midrange shots and he was a pretty big part in us getting back into it..so Horny left him in there....Tucker was solid too...not sure why Warren played as little as he did though.

Phenomenal spacing and great flow to the offense while they were out :-?

I have a feeling Knight is going to have a 50 point game this season. Bledsoe will have a 40 point game at some point.

So glad to see Len drain those mid range jumpers!

Len has really impressed me the last 3 games or so. Doesn't seem as hesitant and trying to rush things. He's playing with intensity and doing the things that don't show up on the stat sheet. He's out there altering shots and boxing out. Hope his good play continues.

Like the entire team, Bledsoe emerged with a second-half charge from the not-for-children halftime tongue-lashing that Tyson Chandler and P.J. Tucker gave the team. In PG terms, they said that first half was not going to be this season’s Suns persona.
