Whiteside giving the Suns some problems with 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Suns bench with only 5 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Carter has gained so much confidence with playing time.

 

[Proximo]

Carter has never been this aggressive. He is shooting with guys in his face and making it.

What channel is the game on??

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are letting Kings hang around which they tend to do.

Suns look ordinary when they don't play defense. They lead Kings 61-59 with 2:54 in 2nd.

Suns are letting Kings hang around which they tend to do.

The Kings have plenty of talent to hang around in games with us. Let's see if they hang around for 48 minutes.

Yucky first half. Gotta turn up the heat on D post halftime.

nice look by Payne to DA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with a sweet move to the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 67 - Kings 65

Ayton with the nice stop on Whiteside at the end of half.

 

[Cheesebeef]

again, Booker settled for a 35 footer when he still had 2 seconds on the clock to get a better shot.

being up 2 after shooting 64% is lame. Let’s see that D fire it up in the second half.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s some mighty terrible defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

That’s some mighty terrible defense.

When the Suns let a team hang around shooters can get on fire and you can't put it out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul to Ayton. Oh, yes.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Broken record here... Bridges needs to extend his range outside of the corners.

And he’s been a real disappointment for me the second half of the season. His numbers scoring and rebounding have dipped every single month. Dude should be ascending towards the end of his third year, not regressing or plateauing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Whiteside starts the 2nd half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul is playing defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Suns lead 84-77 with 6:51 in 3rd.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton quietly with 14 points and 6 rebounds but he is not short on effort.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Book looks silky smooth tonight.
