I love Looney and quadruple team Steph still putting up 21. Most of all I love when Wiggins goes into Ender mode and the whole team has the unrelenting fight of Oakland’s JTA in them.

The Morning After: The Suns thought they played a pretty much perfect game against Steph but Wiggins goes off and torches them instead.

Very gritty win. Like Kerr said, they dug deep, hung in there, and played the way he taught them. The genius is really Kerr. In fact, there are two genis on this club. Lacob, for the way he can make money, and Kerr, for the way he can organize, arm, and set them up to maximize their efforts and talent. He took Wiggins and made him an integral part of the starting lineup, gave him a role, told him exactly what he wanted from him, and hit go. He brought in Bazemore to the starting lineup and he has been very big in this stretch. He's got two way skills, quickness, and has fit like a glove with Steph and Dray. He has let loose both Steph and Dray to do their magic and allowed Poole and JTA to play bigger minutes and proving that they belong with the team. This will prove big for next season. Who thought Dray would even be better than he used to? Not me, no way. He's now bringing in an offensive attack with a vengeance. It's insane and maybe historical as well as hysterical. Go Warriors!

Just an amazing win! My expectations were super low, but they really impressed with their grit and resolve!

Looks like our play-in tourney will start a game early - need to win 2 out of 3 to make the playoffs!

I'm starting to think that adding Klay Thompson to this team might be enough to ruin the league all over again.

Wow what a win.

Like yesterday I unfortunately had to follow this one on play by play, and for the second time in two days I was seen randomly yelling at my phone in public. YEeeehhaaaaa!!!

I have said this many times over the past decade, but I'll say it again: Thanks, Minnesota!

Poole is really developing into a special player.

Wiggins was amazing. That clutch three and bank shot had me jumping up and down. :D Glad we get to see what he can do with Curry regularly now!

Just imagining what two other bodies on the team will do to give our guys some breathers. Paschall and Bell, maybe? Meaningful games this late as a low seed (or, a few weeks ago, a 9th/10th place team) are a joy to watch. Don't know about you all, but I like the play-in tourney since it makes teams that are sometimes the walking dead this time of year play with some fire. Plus, having actual stakes to play for hastens the development of the younger Dubs.

If Beal doesn't play the last two games, Steph needs a total of 42 points to win the scoring title. He might well get that just against the Pels. But if Memphis beats the Kings at least once, then the Pelicans game is meaningless and Kerr might rest Steph, Dray, and Wiggins (assuming they have enough bodies on the bench to field a team). If Steph sat out against the Pels, he'd only need 10 points against Memphis to win the scoring title.

Wiggins must have watched Jordan Clarkson film all night and after breakfast too. Wiggs is deadly going to the rim. Ayton could only watch.

So 10 years ago the 2011 Mavs had One superstar and beat a team with a Big 3 out east... idk, just gonna throw that out there

If Suns cover/defend Curry like this, they are doomed. Rest of the Dubs are going to miss open 3s created by his gravity at this rate every game.
