That game got me yelling. Winning is so much better than losing.

big boards in traffic too. Frustrating game from a turnovers perspective but he was a beast on the boards.

Ayton has big hands so I'm not sure what the problem happens to be.

Doncic (29) had 25 points at the end of the 3rd quarter so that means he only had 4 points in the 4th.

Suns played good defense in the final quarter.

Monty says the Suns played with some "violence."

Langston needs to be one of the first off the bench.

Yeah. Nader and Galloway have turned into the energy guys for the second unit with Moore sort of serving as a rudder.

We won because Monty decided to extend Ayton’s and CP3’s minutes. Sometimes, as long as it’s not the first game of a B-2-B, it’s necessary to play your stars extra minutes

Man his points are always so quiet. Good performance statistically but man it doesn’t pass the eye test most of the time.

It really didn't in the 1st half but the end of the 3rd and into the 4th it did. He wasn't asking for the ball or half-assing it in the paint, he was DEMANDING the ball and took over the paint

Whatever magic words were said to him, woke him up. Thats the DA we all want to see

he’s a poor man’s Vinnie Johnson and should def be used as such.

I don’t think any points are quiet points, unless they’re in garbage time

Suns got to the free throw line 31 times and hit 27. When they get to the line they are hard to beat.

Great game by Paul. He was the best player on the floor, which probably won't happen much anymore, but when it does, the Suns need to take advantage.

You're right. Paul had 29 points, 12 assists and 4 steals.

Great win!

I liked how we went away from shooting a ton of 3's & how about Chris Paul? Thats the CP3 we've been waiting for.

Also, while Ayton still struggles with low passes and making any sort of dribble move, he at least put enough pressure to rack up fouls on the Mavs (and Powell in particular). Steps in the right direction.

Ayton says he has been studying lob angles.
