Looks like Jaden is sacrificing for the Anderson closing minutes

Up 3 at halftime despite having 9 turnovers to their 1. Defense is playing well and offense is too when not turning it over.

Terrible turnover to end the half. No reason for that, Minnesota had plenty of time before the end of the quarter.

I’ll take it…but we can’t count on KD found 1-8 in 2H. Clean up turnovers and counter KDs punches

Are we good or what, leading and holding Suns to 48. Just a couple rush turnovers near the end of 2nd half. Otherwise, another great effort so far.

Defense seems to be good, as long as they continue that to the 2nd half and once their shots starts falling by averaging out the percentages. I feel good about that.

Really didn’t play that well, but low hanging fruit
Careless TOs, bad passes
Poor DReb
Most of Phoenix’s best looks were from Wolves simply not getting matched up correctly, two Wolves going to defend the same player and then a scramble ensuing. But Phoenix wasn’t getting good looks when the Wolves got set properly

We can play a lot better. I expect us to. Finchy will be on their asses.

Something tells me KD is going to play a hell of a lot better in the second half

Seems like wolves should be able to run some action to get Jaden some looks in paint against Paul

Not just simple post ups since Paul is very craft

That elbow is BS. THE NBA love to punish bigs for playing big so stupid. Booker should just be screwd in that situation but instead, they want to penalize you for using your size and strength. Guards game man.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Anderson has as many turnovers by himself as the Suns do as a team.

We were leading by 10 60-50. I come here to read the comments by the time I'm done lead down to 64-62 and Suns ball. Fudge.
