Suns played Thunder even for 3Q's before falling apart in the final frame.
A weak offensive game for Uber, who didn't look confident in his 3's. At least one missed corner 3 he followed and tipped the rebound to a teammate. But Uber did play good D. Westbrook went for 17-29 FG. But by my count Westbrook was 0-5 FG when guarded by Uber. Once Rustbrook drove baseline past Uber who recovered and knocked the ball out of Westbrook's hands as he tried for a layup. And PHX got possession. But it was Shroder who led the 4Q push, with some 3's and dishes to Adams.
Uber did have a PHX high +/-.
Funny to see Fatty Felt and Craw guarding each other some.
Old time Knick throwback stuff.
Nerlens Xmas had a pretty good game.
4 steals in 13 mins, including picking Craw when he danced at the 3-point line. Ftaher Noel had a block and 2 steals as well.
First I've really seen Bridges. He looked good. Guarded that Shroder cat in the 2Q & 3Q. Also Westbrook some. Looked versatile. An solid 3-8 on triples, despite missing one or two open shots. 5-10 FG. Filled the sheet: 3 Boards, 2 Blocks, 2 Steals, 2 Assists. Was nicely active on both ends. Good player.
Josh Jackson looked athletic but kind of lost. Had 4 turnovers. Kind of the anti-Bridges. PHX has to be concerned that his shooting = 39% / 29% / 63% with an equal number of turnovers and assists.
Not panic time, but Jax is coming up on 22 real soon, and needs to find a game. They've seen this play out with Chriss and Bender. Worrisome.
Checking his splits, he's been much better off the bench than starting. So let him gain confidence against 2nd units. And oddly he's shot 40% on 3's at Home but just 17.5% on the Road. And in PHX's 9 wins his offense has been terrific. And awful in their 26 losses. So a few minor silver linings. I didn't realize he's just 6'8" -- I thought he was 6'9" or 10"
