Just watched the second half. As good as we played the 4th quarter, we played THAT bad in the 3rd. It was all layups and dunks for the Clippers in the third period practically. Sheez.
One guy overlooked, Plumlee. He played his A$$ off in the 4th. I can't believe he hit ALL his free throws and Booker missed his! The announcer was right, the Suns have to play this hard to win games. They have talent, but without the hustle, they can't win.
Also, listened to a podcast by Brendon Kleen, and he was at the game, in the upper deck seats. He said half the seats around him cleared out at halftime. More people left in that pathetic third quarter. He said when the first time out came in the fourth KD implored the Suns to cheer. The Suns had a mini scoring blitz. When the Suns pulled to within ten and the challenge came on Plumlee getting fouled in the act of shooting, Kleen said KD went to half court and really implored the fans to get into it. I noticed coming off the floor at the end of the game interview KD raised his arms to the fans. Kleen said this was probably the most interaction KD had with fans while he was playing, that he's seen.
Zubac almost tipped in the tie score at the final buzzer.
Fun fact: This was the biggest fourth quarter comeback in Suns history.
