I just don’t see the fire and want too from some of these guys. I don’t know if they just hit a wall or have self doubt. Maybe the Clip series took its toll
That definitely seems to be the case for Chris Paul.

Payne was ok but missed some shots. Got a few steals. I feel like when he’s in he needs to hound holiday

4th graders were wondering how long he was going to let that run go without doing something. Embarrassing
He definitely cooled off his own guys. That’s frustrating to watch. Hopefully that rest will pay it back down the stretch. Holliday really stepped up with giannis sitting down.

Suns in the 1st: Hey we’re having a ton of success attacking the paint

Suns in the 2nd: cool we’re just gonna stand here and Chuck 3s and stop rebounding

The problem with CP3 being hobbled is that Payne can’t effectively spell him. Nearly same minutes, worse result

Just utterly unbelievable we build a huge lead in the 1st quarter and Monty watches Torrey Craig jack up 3's and nobody focuses on defense. It's also on CP3 to control the offense when Book is out and he completely choked. If we don't come back to win this game, we deserve to lose the series and CP3 can go down as an all time choke artist
It’s 2021…16 point leads evaporate every now and again. A lot of ball left to play.

Booker gets second half going with a basket.

The shooting of Portis (9) and Connaughton (9) off the bench really hurts.
I agree. Suns need to keep attacking Connaughton when he’s on the court. Suns were getting points in the paint when he was isolated.

Booker is carrying the Suns.
