This is what I was watching as well. I'm sure fans in Mexico City really appreciate NBA basketball.

 

[Ronin]

Chriss three for three from three point range.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chriss is on fire. He is 3-3 from 3 point range.

He already has 11 points in the 1st quarter.

 

[Ronin]

need to put a body on Seth Curry.

Timeout Dallas, Suns trail 27-23

I would think with the large arena it would be harder to shoot but it doesn't seem to be a problem with either team.

2nd foul on TJ

 

[Ronin]

Bender playing sloppy out there (missed three, bad entry pass to len in the post, and then picks up a foul)

Yes He hit the three as I was typing.lol
Bender had me after the foul.

Bender with the block.

Bender with the block.

This was nice to see. Bender goes to the foul line after trying to score inside hitting 2 FTs.

 

[Ronin]

Bender finishes strong there, we are looking a +1 opportunity instead of two free throws.

I liked that the Suns were posting him up, he got deep into the paint before he was fouled.

 

[Ronin]

ugh.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are now having trouble guarding Dirk.

 

[Ronin]

defensive 3 second tech call on the Suns

 

[Mainstreet]

How can Knight have a +7. I didn't think he played well going 1-6.
