Hawks win 113 -112.

Booker misses shot at the buzzer.

Payton's ejection was huge.

Great loss. Booker will be thanking the Lord he missed that shot if Ayton is his teammate next year

Whew that was close.

Booker with the clutch performance tonight comes through with the big miss at the big time. We needed this L tonight.

Great game by TJ and Chriss played really well

Payton is a young stud. 9 games with the Suns 5 double doubles and 2 triple doubles.

The Hawks shot over .500 from 3-point range... 17 of 33.

Payton with 11 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds before being ejected.

Warren with 35 points today.

Now that we dodged that bullet the rest of the games today should be chill. Mavs, Nets, Kings play today. Kings play at home vs the Knicks!


Then we have the sideshow of the Bucks.

throwback uni's again... nice. Now let's see those suckers in purple!

And just KEEP THEM THAT WAY!

I'd love for them to even go back to the Western Font... but at least keep those as the regulars.

Good loss. The Suns have definitely delivered some good games with close losses since the All-Star break. This game, the Pelicans game, and the OKC game were all solid performances that came just short.

Booker seems to play better when he's playing against another star. The Hawks don't have anyone that falls in that category though so he was a bit off today.

I'm gonna say that miss by booker locks it, we will get one of the top 6... ayton,bagley,bamba,mpj,doncic,jjj.

These other tank teams play each other a lot, we only need 3 of them to be better than us to get at least a top 5 seed, which pretty much guarntees one of th big 6.

It will be hilarious years from now if we can point back to the miss as a huge moment

Eddie Johnson said they are the best in the NBA and he is right.

I thought the Payton ejection might set Booker off. Normally it probably would have.

Wouldn't mind seeing Payton or Booker get tossed in future games during the 4th quarter. I would like to see them quit sitting players for foul trouble also. Get guys like Chriss and Len more minutes by letting them play through it and if they foul out they foul out. It's a lost season anyways.

Play the youngsters. It is and should remain the plan since Bledsoe said he didn't want to be here.

Harrison should definitely get more time plus Bender and Chriss. Let's clear the bench and play the G-League players.
