Or Booker with the facial

we REALLY need Book back on Monday. I don't want to be down 15 again to these guys.

Pathetic performance by Ayton. 16 shots and he can't even get to 20 points? Only 4 FTs and can't get a single block? Meanwhile Willey Cauley-Stein has a field day and shoots 7-8 from the field.

I'm doing this right, right guys?

Better than a 25pt lead midway through the 2nd...

What a fantastic win!

CP3 with a terrific game. The guy has big balls.

Ayton was active and impacting the game around the rim.

And Bridges did a solid job as always.

Was almost certain this would be an L after how we were playing in the 3rd. Of course they still had to keep us all hanging on til the last seconds, but nice win!

I did think Cauley-Stein played well to be fair lol

The only player in NBA history to notch 12/13/8 in under 25 mins of gameplay!

Chris Paul time machine activated.

I'm excited by our ceiling if Paul, Ayton, Booker keep getting closer to their potential.

If you told me prior to the game that Dallas would hit 7 more fg than us and hit one less three than our team, I'd say we lost by 8-10 points but that wasn't the case. Big difference is the ft disparity in our favor on the road 27 to 8 ft.

Leander is such a goober. I don’t think his face muscles are capable of making a frown. He and EJ were the ultimate announcing combo. K-Ray has grown on me though, he’s almost as goober-y

Crazy when the Suns get calls. Not used to it. Especially in a game that Doncic is playing.

We did a fantastic job of keeping Doncic off the line. I forgot to pay attention to who was primarily guarding him... Was it Bridges? Thought DA and the team in general was good about walling off his drives w/o allowing a bunch of lobs and open 3s

Looking through the box score Nader had the 2nd most rebounds with 7 in 25minutes of play. He has been a real pleasant surprise, love the energy he brings and his willingness to force the issue driving to the basket. Similar to what Oubre brought only in smaller bursts and more in the flow of the offsense.

They were throwing everyone at him and switching a lot. Crowder started on him, then Cam but it was mostly Mikal down the stretch.
