[Mainstreet]

Suns are right back at it tonight with a game against the Nuggets at Denver. This starts a three game road trip for the team.

The Suns (11-39) losing streak has stretched to six games. Ironically the Suns last win came against the Nuggets at home.

Nuggets (31-15) have won four of their last five games since their loss to the Suns.

In their last game the Nuggets lost at Utah 114-108 on Wednesday.

Game is 7 p.m. Arizona time and it will be televised on FSAZ.

Jokic being out gives maybe a fighting chance in this game. Of course we are also on the 2nd of a B2B and missing 3 major rotation players.

If Holmes is still out we'll be missing 4 of our first 6 or 7.

He's not bringing up the ball to start the game. 'Good to see.

What a prayer by Okobo. Nice.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like Oubre's ability to get to the rim.

End of 1st quarter:

Nuggets 37 - Suns 32

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson is playing well tonight. He now has 14 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Where was that foul on Oubre?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Where was that foul on Oubre?

He was called for failing to keep someone from grabbing him around the waist from behind. He should know better.

 

[SirStefan32]

They are playing well so far! I started watching a few minutes late, but finally caught up. Keep it up, Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

He was called for failing to keep someone from grabbing him around the waist from behind. He should know better.

This is a play that should be reviewable. Waive a challenge flag or something.

 

[SirStefan32]

And they are melting down again.
