I just want to see where this team can go with Green back. And hopefully the Suns training staff won't shut him down for the year because he gets a hangnail.

Eh, it was a good game. They gave themselves a chance to win. Couple of bad decisions at the end of the game, tired legs on defense in the second half. Not upset at all about this one. They did a fine job.

Happy that we went 1-1 in this brutal back to back, especially both going down to the wire in crunch time and late travel today. That being said, this was a missed opportunity. Suns let it slip in the 4th with some stagnant offense. Hopefully they can take care of business against the Grizz.

It just sucks the game at the devolved into the Book/KD show like the old days. Ball movement came to a halt.

KD hit the one three when it mattered. Just like Booker the game before.

A few things didn't help us like using the challenge for Flem, that was just not a smart one.
And for me, using the timeout after a rockets timeout when they had 4 seconds left on the shot clock.
Allen sucking didn't help either.

I am fairly convinced that if Jalen Green had played, the Suns would have outlasted the Rocks. Devin Booker is now old enough that fatigue can be a problem at any time. Jalen Green is so much younger that for him, it probably isn't. If he had been there, he should have taken the shot Booker missed. Notwithstanding that I don't have the impression Green is a great shooter.
