Rubio on why the Suns are last unbeaten team in Orlando. Knock on Wood.

Rubio’s consistent shooting has been a major reason why we’ve had so much success in Orlando as well. Just a different offense when he’s a threat and we’re getting points from the point.

This is a tough gm even if heat don't have butler or Goran

If suns somehow win this win than I'll definitely start believing even more in suns playoff chances

He is officially out.

 

[Sunstroke]

Blazers lost a close one earlier today. Another great oppurtunity to gain ground. Go Suns!

 

[Mainstreet]

A refresher who on who is out for Heat. Suns need to take this game seriously.

I believe today will speak volumes as for just how real the Suns run is. I am nervously optimistic if that makes any sense - if we can keep the same intensity we can keep achieving the same result

 

[mjb21aztd]

Nervous on this gm also

One player they must contain is herro is a deadly shooter

Go suns

 

[Mainstreet]

Game about to tip off.

 

[BC867]

Ayton starts the game with a foul.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton picks up shooting foul on Herro. It's not the best way to start.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Gotta stay outta foul trouble today, we've been fortunate so far but it will eventually bite us

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are cold from field and then Booker solves that with a 2-pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns aren't into the game early. It's what I worried about.

 

[BC867]

4 Suns fouls in 3 1/2 minutes. Rubio's two quick fouls put him on the bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Heat are shooting 60.0% from field. Suns trail 16-8.

It’s cool, guys. Not like the playoffs are within arms reach, right?
