Then checked the score a minute later with us down 113-112 with 18 sec remaining I immediately ran downstairs to watch again lol. Can’t believe the fight and effort this team has to never give up. Those two steals under a minute remaining were huge a three point shot and a Goodwin layup. God bless the suns and god bless you all.

God bless America, land that I love

I assumed we’d struggle offensively after losing KD & Beal, yet we are top 10 in scoring this season and that’s with Green only playing one game. It’s insane!

The most impressive part to me is that we actually ended up winning the rebound battle. That's a big reason we were able to hang around and fight our way back.

This team was projected to win between 30.5 & 31.5 games around preseason. How many games do you guys project the Suns to win this season? I’m super excited never thought we’d start 10-6 on the season so far.

Exciting win against quality team after leading by 17 early and the great comeback at the end. Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams turned out to be huge difference makers. The team as a whole plays like a unit and the vibe is great. Fully healthy this team will be even more dangerous.

TOs and 3PT% are bad for the season. Two 9TO games that came against the better teams played in DEN and MIN. He needs to address these for the team to stand a chance in a playoff series if team makes it that far, which right now looks very realistic.

Wow guys, WHAT A BATTLE!

The first thing that I want to say is that this game it was similar to the Hawks game but against an even better opponent. It was a super tough game with both teams playing great defense and giving their all for 48 minutes.

Anthony Edwards played a wild third quarter and the truth is that we were playing so well that they needed him on that level to take the lead. But those two FTs missed at the end...oh man.

Props to Dillon Brooks. He is defending PFs and he is allowing us to not has a mismatch at that position. He defended Randle pretty well and he spreads the floor on offense with his 3p shooting. Dawg.

Booker had a bad shooting game and couldn't do his thing but he drove so much attention and created space for his teammates.10 assists and had his own battle with one of the best wing defenders in the league.

Mark Williams showed his value in this game. He is gold at C. He is already a better C than Gobert and his nice touch in the paint is a thing of beauty. He played very well on both ends, I love his activity for a 7 footer.

Goodwin, Dunn, Royce, Livers...all contributed with their intensity. Goodwin is a great rebounder, probably the best that I have ever seen for any 6'4 and under. Ridiculous.

We couldn't get this W without Gillespie. Villain Jr played another great game and he is not a secret weapon anymore. One of the best 6th man in the league and I was immensely happy with his game winner on this one. He deserves all the praise.

Keep it up SUNS!

I think we had lost 7-8 straight to the wolves including the playoffs debacle? Def a big win that can build confidence. Big surprise this year and I’m excited for what’s to come.

They swept us in 2024 playoffs and we also lost to them in previous 4 games before finally beating them last night. So yeah, 8 straight losses to Twolves until we finally ended the drought.
