Game 39: Charlotte Hornets (15-26) @ Phoenix Suns (15-23)

I’ll give myself credit for this win, after the Packers game ended, I started watching it after the timeout at the 3 min mark and we made our run then to put it away.

Bridges clutch defense and Ayton with clutch plays too. He had that strip which he should’ve went quicker on instead got it stolen from him but overall he played well and not sure the Suns win this game without him.

And the Suns PR people should probably schedule big charity events when they have 2 or more days off between games, not the night before a game. Not worried about Booker’s play tonight because I’m confident it was entirely due to that.

Nice to hold a team under 100. Off night for Book but Oubre/Ayton played well, Bridges made some nice plays on defense.

Great to win on an off night from Booker

Well we're a much better road team this year, thus far. If we can beat Atlanta, which we should be able to, that would be called a winning streak. Haven't had one of those in quite some time.

I wasn't pleased with this victory at all. The Suns need a sharpshooter at SG or PF to come off the bench to provide scoring. Jones do something please and thank you

And if we could beat Atlanta AND NY, it would be Booker's longest win streak in a Suns uniform.

I actually was, but of course we need some firepower. A PG that can't shoot, pfs that really can't shoot, only one sf that can shoot a little but it's more of a slasher, and our C's have not been able to hit shots either. It's been a rough going.

Maybe they will get one on the road unexpected

Atlanta is absolutely beatable so is NYC for that matter. We "should" have 4 game winning streak going into Boston.

Is this true, we've never had a 4 game win streak in his time here? He's been a sun for like 5 years lol...

Yeah, I read that earlier, that we haven't won more than two in a row (with him in the lineup) since our 7 game start this year, but never more than 3 in a row since he's been here. I was pretty surprised too.

you're forgetting the G.R.E.T.A 4 game win streak back in December 2018 (was nearly 5 games, lost in 3OT vs Wizards)

it's clearly not true guys. we won 4 in a row last season in December, you know the one where we beat Boston and NY on the road behind dominant play from Ayton? This is not a joke, you guys have terrible short term memories.

Solid win for our guys. Ayton played fairly well off the bench especially in the 4th. Oubre was huge throughout the game and when he's on, he's one of the best players on both ends of the court for us. Likewise with Mikal with his clutch D late the 4th.

Good to be on a winning streak again. Now we just need to string tgoether a couple more before we face Boston

I know we've been bad during his time here but wow that's nuts. I really hope that's not true. It feels like we haven't been THAT bad.

It was smart having Ayton come off the bench. He still gets his 25+ min and we get back to back much needed wins. Also, this is our first time limiting our last two opponents to under 100 points. Good things will come if we play such engaged defense when the games on the line.

Booker didn't play in that 1st win against Dallas

well that's just splittin hairs. usually "in a suns uniform" just means him being on the team.

Yeah it is splitting hair. But if a guy doesn't play a single minute, does he get credit for a win?

Does Ayton get any credit for any wins we had while he was out? Still "in a Suns uniform"
