Woooooo! What a game, the atmosphere in the arena is incredible. Glad Ayton finally woke up after sleepwalking for 3 quarters. Great win. Booker is amazing.

Really hope Craig is okay. Hopefully just a contusion or something.

Paul had 6 turnovers tonight to 8 assists. He hasn't been that bad since his shoulder was jacked early in the Laker series. Yet we sustained a 10 point lead for roughly the final 3 quarters.

Ayton came up big with that offensive rebound and then passing it to CP3 for the three. Then the block at the other end was also huge. I think the extra day off will help. Hopefully Craig is not injured too bad to keep him out.

Good win.

the Craig injury is very worrying though.

this is a place to vent 82. It’s gonna come fast and furious in a game this big. Deal with it! :)
Yeah.. I focus on him so much..but dang, his off nights are surely off. It's crazy how well we can play in spite of our center in an NBA finals game. Unreal. I dream of a Suns team in the future where he plays with hustle and competitive fire every night.... But of course...I will take the win. :)

Think about this. In order for us to lose, the Bucks need to beat us 4 times in the next 5 games.

Great team win. CP with the turnovers and Ayton invisible for 3 quarters and we still win. And we are a very good road team.

He WAS exhausted when I wrote that post..
Anyway… he busted his *** tonight and rose up in the 4th quarter. He’ll be better for having experienced this game! And we WON!!
Again, he was playing like that since the beginning of the game. It was one of those tentative games for him until Monty woke him up. If you don't want to recognize that, fine, you don't have to. Props to him for contributing in the last half of the fourth quarter. Hopefully it carries over to the next game. We need game 1 Ayton, not game 2 Ayton. He's such a huge difference maker for us when he's focused.

That's the thing. Having two elite, playmaking guards really relieves the pressure to be on every game.

Man I hope so...... but I think game 3 is going to be nuts. This feels a lot like the Clips series so far.

not even close. These games don’t feel close and there’s never the sense that the bucks are going to win.
