So it's a 1-point game in the 4th. Are we going to see OT tonight?

Suns playing D. Led the comeback.

Kokoskov should switch the first and second units for a while. Let the bench guys establish a tone of competing from the opening tip.

Also, by far the Suns' worst offensive play is trying to force-feed Ayton. It causes constant turnovers and bad shots. If Ayton isn't able to establish himself offensively, then okay, the Suns can be patient with his development. But right not they are throwing possessions -- and games -- away through their tunnel vision with Ayton.

The Suns have to keep Holmes this summer.

Oubre doesn't fall down on that one.

I am so sick of seeing Ayton positioned 23 feet from the basket and in no position to get the defensive rebound.

I can't believe it is his decision to do that.

All the Suns starters and Holmes have a + (+/-).

Don't know why Holmes isn't finishing this game off the way he's played. He deserved it.

Kings up by 53 with 2 minutes to go and the Kings with the ball. But then a Kings turnover.

Just watching this team at times shows me how a good coach could really get us going...you see flashes but unfortunately as long as Igor is coach it vanishes

At lease, finally, Igor is keeping some of his hot subs in the game as it nears the end.

Acy back in for defense.

I guess Igor has been reading some Basketball for Dummies. :)

Oubre high in the air with a one-hand offensive rebound and basket. Suns up by 3.

26 points by Oubre.

Oubre was talking to Cauley-Stein on that dunk.

What a time to turn on the game. I was hoping I didn't jinx them but I saw the score and saw 30 seconds left and thought I'd see if they could close it out. I didn't think it would happen with how Melton missed his chance to feed Ayton.
