Horrible reffing to end it. It's natural to kick your leg out when shooting a fadeaway and it is completely unnatural to jump 3 feet sideways going up for a jump shot. And they wonder why they have a player telling them they are morons...

It's been a long time since Ayton has been this ineffective.

This team seems to have a thing for letting teams stay close down the stretch. Ayton has shown up on the boards but we need more easy buckets from him to finish teams off.

Another bad night of closing. Up 16 or was it 19? book made a lot of dumb decisions there. I get it some questionable calls but you don’t need to add fuel to the fire.

I know we don't want to admit it, but Booker is a liability at the ends of games. If Paul is healthy and functional, Booker should be benched in crunch time in favor of Carter or someone else who can keep himself engaged mentally.

The Suns bench played extremely well tonight. They all contributed and all had plus (+/-).

Paul was the only starter with a plus (+/-) with a +2.

This is too extreme. he shouldn’t be benched. He just shouldn’t have the ball in his hands. Let him be someone CP3 can set up for a jumper, but he’s just not Dwayne Wade who can play hero ball snd close efficiently.
