I didn't have to do the dishes

 

[nashman]

We are capable of beating good teams if we just cut the stupid mistakes and everyone doesn’t go into shooting slumps in the same game lol!

 

[Chaplin]

KD repeating the word "leadership" multiple times in the interview. Hmmmmm.

 

[Chaplin]

One of the best team wins if the season.

 

[BirdGangThing]

AD didn't look hurt but he was definitely out played by Nurk today which was a pleasure to see

 

[Mainstreet]

How about Royce O'Neale with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

 

[nashman]

Nurk is so important to us easily the best rebounder on the team! So curious and excited to get Beal back with the new additions as well. Think they are just being cautious with Beal and making sure he’s 100% looking ahead.

 

[Chaplin]

Nurk/Royce/Grayson = 62 points,

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Nice to see a nice balanced scoring output and without two main rotation players in the game as well.

 

[nashman]

Royce looking like he’s gonna be a huge addition as the season progresses. A vet that’s not gonna shrink in the playoffs! It’s easy to get down on this team with some of the crap they pull and the coach, but man they can be deadly if we get it all out together before the playoffs. Another reason I like our tough finishing schedule as it can really sharpen us up heading to the playoffs!

And great to win and perform in a 4th quarter!

 

[Mainstreet]

I wish the Suns could find one more consistent rotation player, although the Suns were missing Beal and Gordon.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson Allen led the Suns in scoring with 24 points. What a find in that Ayton trade taking nothing away from Jusuf Nurkic.

 

[GatorAZ]

Love seeing the Lakers and Warriors tied for the last play-in spot. I actually think Allen is a better fit on this team than Beal. He doesn’t need the ball and still makes a huge impact spreading the floor.

 

[Mainstreet]

It still bothers me Vogel stayed with Thaddeous Young so long in the Rockets game.

 

[Suns_fan69]

First win I can remember this season where neither KD nor Book had a good game. Nurkic played fantastic today, and he usually struggles vs AD.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Just a question. But you can act like a 10 year old all you want.

This is a break

 

[Mainstreet]

When Nurkic plays well, the Suns are hard to beat.

With Indiana beating Dallas, Suns are back in 6th.

Grayson Allen led the Suns in scoring with 24 points. What a find in that Ayton trade taking nothing away from Jusuf Nurkic.

That trade was a big W overall. Nurkic is more integrated into the offense as a whole and he actually fights for rebounds on both sides. He can't switch to the perimeter on D like Ayton but he is just as good as guarding the paint as well as guys who try and post up. Add in what Allen brings to the table and it's one of the best trades the Suns have made in many years.
