Bulls @ Suns Wednesday game thread 3-31-2021

[Mainstreet]

It's getting close to tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton scores on lob from Chris Paul to open the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are in purple tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul already with two fouls at 10:12 in 1st quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now Ayton picks up his first foul at 8:31 mark.

Edit: Actually that appears to have been charged to Booker.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bulls with 13-11 lead at 7:21 in 1st.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bulls are not missing. Crowder has 2 threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder is hot early and hits another three. Could be a flagrant foul as well.

It's a flagrant 1.

 

[Mainstreet]

Daniel Theis is now on the Bulls.

 

[Mainstreet]

So far no defense is being played.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Payne making an impact tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Markkanen already with 10 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 39 - Bulls 37

 

[Cheesebeef]

Awful D for both teams.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jevon Carter is getting playing time early over Galloway.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Not sure if the Bulls' bench can keep up with this scoring pace.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne making an impact tonight.

Daniel Theis was an excellent acquisition by the Bulls.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Jevon Carter is getting playing time early over Galloway.

I was wondering who was replaced by Carter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Not sure if the Bulls' bench can keep up with this scoring pace.

Let's hope not.

 

[Mainstreet]

Super Dario already with 11 points. He is 3-3 from three.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nice fast break.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Suns lead 60-54.

They have no answer for Vucevic with 9 points. It feels like he could score every time down the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the three!

 

[Mainstreet]

In a two-for-one, Booker shoots a 40 footer and misses of course. Ugh. So familiar.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 67 - Bulls 58
