Suns @ Magic 12-26-18

Oh crap. Magic get the ball back with 6 seconds left. Suns have a 2 point lead.

Booker is a chucker. Too much hero ball.

Booker with the Anti-Hero ball.

Not a fan of all the Booker iso we've seen at the end of games.

Suns win!!

Final in overtime:

Suns 122 - Magic 120

This was a good win as the Suns close the road trip 3-2.

Suns win! Best part... they won this with defense. Bridges was outstanding late in the fourth and in OT, Ayton was amazing in OT, and Booker even made some defensive plays. It was an ugly win, but a really good win. They won by playing defense.

He's been so clutch the last few years though like Kobe-esque. I wonder if he is just not fully healthy still

He was tired in OT. He was missing the shots he was making all game long.

love seeing us not only bounce back from two losses, but bouncing back from blowing the lead at the end of the game and winning in OT on the road is a great sign and love, love, LOVE reading that even though Ayton struggled, he came up HUGE defensively in OT with three blocks to lock down the game!

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns four bench players all finish with pluses:

Holmes had a +12, Oubre +15, Jackson +4 and Okobo with a +11.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about ayton struggling. He only had six shots they never gave him the ball! But he was the reason they won in overtime! Best defense he's played all year!

Happy with the win but disappointed in the play in the 4th and OT on the offensive end and disgusted at the fact Ayton wasn't used more. EJ was talking about it left amd right. Vujevic was doing whatever he wanted on the offensive end cause he wasn't having to play defense.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Not only did Augustin throw himself into Bridges, there was minimal if any contact even after that.

Yeah, it was a horrible call, Augustin jumped 2 feet to his right to try and create contact. They aren't supposed to call that anymore, only if the player is jumping forward in a natural movement.

Booker was pissed that Igor didn’t call timeout at the end of regulation to reset the defense.

Unfortunately, it was just more evidence we need a playmaking pg. Love the energy and the win but that hole is still rather obvious

Booker is a chucker. Too much hero ball.

35 points on good efficiency to go along with 7 rebounds and 8 assists plus 2 steals and a block and he's just a chucker?

 

[Finito]

Ugly win but a win.

What a difference the combination of Oubre and Holmes makes instead of Ariza and Chandler. Night and day.

They need to feed Ayton more. Been kind of disappointed in Bridges shot although he does everything else great. He's a good shooter and it's gonna start falling for him soon.

Booker is Booker

That's as wrong as wrong gets. He's not a chucker at all he's highly efficient dude.

I think Bridges is already hitting the rookie wall not to mention he clearly needs to add some strength both for his outside shot and to handle the contact on both ends.

That's the first thing I said when I seen him. He needs a season or two in an NBA weight room. The skill set is there though. I loved the pick at the time and still do

 

[SirStefan32]

Yeah, I am not worried about Mikal's shot. It will start falling. I just want him to keep playing defense and being the best defensive wing in the NBA. His shot is gonna start falling.

Win or lose (and thankfully we've done more winning), the energy on this team has drastically changed since those 2 left. They're really fun to watch again.

Oubre and Holmes have been flat out steals

I could see him improving much like Buddy Hield. He's a hard worker, is smart, and got significantly better each year in college. I'm very high on his upside.

Things to be encouraged about this game.

Winning ugly is a step in progress.
Ayton winning the game with defense in OT was fantastic.
