Awesome win playing against the Cavs and the refs while missing half our team

Well, maybe I didn't post the best good luck charm down the stretch, but again, another one down the stretch when I think we were down....and we took care of it. Even though it's against the Cavs, this feels like a BIG win...given how many guys we were missing. Nice games from Book, Ayton, Bridges and Moore.. Bridges with clutch free throws to ice it and finally Cam started hitting 3s after starting 0-6 when we needed them.

DA is the unsung hero of this game

Good ugly win considering all the guys we’re missing.

We need an explanation as to why Jalen Smith doesn’t get minutes even against teams that have so many bigs while we’re without Saric.

Nice tough win!

Really good feeling, we had 5 guys out. That is when having a depth roster matters.

Here's to hoping we get some guys back for Walkee

Way to stay composed and guts out a tough win.

Shoutout to Jones for having his first career game finishing in the positive. +3.

Yeah, I thought he would really struggle but he was really aggressive. 8 offensive rebounds against Drummond AND Allen. He got 16 and they got 19 between them.

Really attacked the rim a few times too.

And 3 blocks which is nice.

You'll have the complainers saying he should have scored 25..and should score that every night, but he is scoring efficiently with BARELY any plays run for him..and very few passes inside.

Very impressive win in my book!

Against a massive Cavs team. They aren't bad. The guards and their twin towers, idk if they can keep Drummond but still they're on their way.

Great win by the team.

Once again, Ayton putting up numbers without being a focus of the offense. He can continue to build on this, don’t need to force it.

Tonight's missing lineup of Paul, Payne, Nader, Crowder and Saric...would that be the best 5 of any Suns team from like 2011 to now?

Seeing Moore progress over the last few games has been really nice to see. Dude played 40 minutes tonight and did not disappoint. I hope he'll continue to get some burn when we are fully healthy (If that ever happens?)

Great win btw. Booker, Moore, Bridges and DA were stars. Cam Johnson is a star for hitting timely 3's. The Cavs suck but they still have weapons and the Suns were missing so much...very happy with this one

Yeah, that team would probably beat any team of the last 10 years outside of 13-14 and possibly 14-15 and last year.

But at least, at a minimum, 7 of the last 10 years.

Team win, but some step up their game.

Booker played a monster game.
Ayton did a terrific job against Drummond and Allen.
Moore and Bridges were great and Cam scored a couple of huge 3p shots in the fourth quarter.
Kaminsky and Galloway did their job and tried hard.

Oh and Javale McGee is a little bitch
