[BirdGangThing]

Book 9-18 50% from the field and 3 of 7 from deep 9 rebounds 6 assists

 

[BirdGangThing]

Grizzlies bringing the full court press on Book + double teams

 

[BirdGangThing]

There we go

Book doesn't have to score every bucket

 

[Mainstreet]

KBD for three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book looking a little gassed

 

[BirdGangThing]

Vogel finally brings Goodwin back in to run point guard

 

[BirdGangThing]

Diop with the drive and easy layop

 

[Mainstreet]

Yuta has been disappointing thus far.

 

[BirdGangThing]

They're just doubling Book nonstop

 

[BirdGangThing]

Bench has gone stagnant and Book is winded

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker with 30 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and a steal.

 

[Yuma]

The guys off ball seem surprised when it is thrown to them. Then they take a second or two to figure out what to do. When you are standing waiting for the ball, you should be thinking, when I get it I will do X with it. There shouldn't be a delay in action when you get it.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Might need some more KD and Nurk for a few minutes - I think Vogel was hoping to rest them for the night but nah

 

[95pro]

Leading by 11. 7 min left in the 4th

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic can't hit the outside shot tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's good to be able to rotate Booker and Durant and keep them fresh.

 

[Yuma]

Man, Jackson Junior rounding into a very good player.

 

[95pro]

JO passing on more open 3’s. Allen draws the foul.

 

[BirdGangThing]

3kogie is no mas

 

[Yuma]

Okogie putting his teammates in jeopardy on offense to do something with the shot clock winding down when he's open. Just shoot!

 

[95pro]

Nurk is done for the night.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic fouls out.

 

[Chaplin]

Painfully obvious that JO is getting the EG minutes.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk is done - I only remember a couple of the calls being questionable

 

[BirdGangThing]

Eubanks playing a little dirty under the basket - getting physical with Jackson Jr
