Nice exclamation point by Ayton there. Love seeing him go up with authority, I don't care if it makes it a 9 point lead.

It's almost been an entire calendar year since the Suns have won 2 in a row.

Ayton with ten points in the 4th quarter, with 4 fouls. Suns up by 12 with 52 seconds left.

This will be the Suns first 2-game winning streak.

Suns get back to back wins for first time this season.

I'm glad they started without Booker. Two games isn't much of a streak but it's still a streak, dammit! With New York up next we might actually hit three in a row.

Ayton got five offensive rebounds.

And they were good boards at that. He seemed to fight for each one and made each one he grabbed count. I wish they reported on how many putbacks he had, or 2nd chance points because of those rebounds. I would guess no less than 6 of his points were from those boards.

Melton quietly with 9 points, 5 assists and 2 steals. I'm liking Okobo over Evans.

No heart. As Jimmy Butler said, "They soft."

I think there's more to it though. In terms of the type of player Butler is and the type of coach Thibs is, yes, they are soft. But for this era of basketball, I think they are more the norm than the exception. I believe they are just matched with the wrong Head Coach. Well, that and Wiggins just isn't the player many of us expected him to be nor the player the Wolves are paying him to be.

Nice hustle.

Now then, which conspiracy theorist is gonna be first to come out and say, "Suns won because Ariza's poisonous 'I hate being here' attitude is gone!":D:D
