I don't know if I care too much about anything else this season than if we can potentially finish ahead of the Lakers.

The Suns don't win if Booker is not the focal point of the Timberwolves defense.

It's the turnovers that hurt the most.

Devin Booker had 16 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal but 9 turnovers.

Underrated part of that sequence is Gillespie forcing Ant to spin and pick up his dribble. In the moment I thought for sure he'd get the game winner.

I'm glad you noticed.

Gillespie does a lot of the smaller things, that turn into bigger things, that make a difference.

usually we play minnesota - book is kind of there in the first half - we're down but not out then ant explodes in the second - book struggles - we get wiped out - ant and all his buddy's laugh at us

Gillespie is only on a 1-year contract with the Suns, but they own his early bird rights.

Wouldn't it have been the smart and wise thing to do, to sign him to a multi-year contract last season while he was on a two-way contract or even this season?

113-105 with 54 seconds left. We win 113-114
Just one of the best wins in a while.
