Not sure why this is taking so long, looked like a clear foul.

I don’t love the strategy of fouling that early. It then becomes a FT shooting contest. We haven’t always been nails at the line at end of games.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

True but Book does it all the time.

And we almost all hate it

Cam Payne with clutch free throws.

[Cheesebeef]

Impressive. Every W without Book is a great W.

 

[GatorAZ]

YES !!

 

[Mainstreet]

CHRIS PAUL TIME.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Great effort from the team, 41 mins from Paul. I hope Booker is back soon.

 

[Chaplin]

I love Chris Paul.

 

[TJ]

Should be a technical on Billups for throwing ball down.

Seemed like Billups was asking for a T.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Impressive. Every W without Book is a great W.

Agreed. Big win. Props to Ayton for playing that many minutes and producing when needed. Same to Paul, but always for Paul. Disappointed by Bridges.

 

[Mainstreet]

Seemed like Billups was asking for a T.

I thought so. Referees swallowed the whistle.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton played BIG tonight. He’s definitely taken a step forward this year. Is it gargantuan? No. But it’s a solid step forward.

If Bridges had done the same, we’d be unstoppable right now. And pretty damn good as is.

Still think we’re one piece away from really nailing this season down.

But hell of a damn win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty liked Paul and Payne to close the game. They both can create shots.

A look at some final stats.

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul with 24 points and 14 assists.

Ayton qith 28 points and 13 rebounds.

Awesome stats.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Despite Bridges not being on his A game defensively, still kept Lillard from going off and kept him somewhat under control. 31 points on 31 shots is about as much as you can ask for.
