Timberwolves @ Suns 12-15-19

[SirStefan32]

Ayton has been huge in the fourth quarter.

 

[Hoop Head]

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.

 

[HeHasRosen]

Crawford with a sick no look pass to Ayton for the Dunk! DA turning it up in the 4th

 

[Cheesebeef]

10 points in the 4th for Ayton is what I like to see!

 

[SirStefan32]

for those watching, can anyone put their finger on why the Wolves are so damn mediocre? That's a team with a lot of talent.

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

 

[Hoop Head]

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.

 

[Cheesebeef]

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

yeah... I just watched their "scramble D" that was just pathetic and led to that Ayton wham-bam-slam! That pretty much explains it.

nice to see him throw that down with some authority.

 

[TJ]

This 50 game winning streak we’re about to go on is gonna be awesome

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are going to win.

 

[BC867]

Suns win 108-99.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 108 - Wolves 99

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

 

[SirStefan32]

That's game! Two in a row, baby, two in a row!

 

[Cheesebeef]

dare I say we make it 3 in a row against the Knicks?!

 

[BC867]

Booker is back. And he got to play some Shooting Guard.

 

[Hoop Head]

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.

 

[BC867]

Just days short of a year since the Suns last back-to-back wins.

That is hard to believe.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Final:

Suns 108 - Wolves 99

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

Suns get back to back wins for the first time this calendar year.

 

[BC867]

Ayton got five offensive rebounds.

 

[Hoop Head]

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.

 

[SirStefan32]

dare I say we make it 3 in a row against the Knicks?!

Hop on the bandwagon, comrade! Plenty of room here!

 

[Mainstreet]

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

 

[AzStevenCal]

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.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hop on the bandwagon, comrade! Plenty of room here!

It looks like we can even keep Igor.

 

[Willie D]

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!"
