Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA Biggest difference between the two Warriors-Suns games to me: GSW involved Ayton way less in Steph pick-and-rolls, choosing to instead induce switches with perimeter guys. Lot more of Steph vs. guys like Shamet, Crowder, Payne, CP3, etc.
Otherwise, Suns just ran out of gas – 10:11 AM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Chris Paul responded to a question on if Steph Curry had an impact on the 3-point revolution in the NBA and was puzzled by it at first before a “Hell yeah!”

Kyle Goon @kylegoon Marcus Morris Sr. with the final sauce in this one, a tough 3-pointer to close the door for the Clippers. – 12:23 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Marcus Morris Sr. hit that one for his twin – 12:22 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif The Clippers’ offense has gone through stages of heat checks tonight. Marcus Morris early, Hartenstein to start the fourth, and now Luke Kennard with two threes in the last two minutes for a 116-111 lead on the Lakers. – 12:21 AM

David Thorpe @coachthorpe What Crowder just did is asking for a fight. – 12:07 AM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA Al Horford said the Celtics are starting to find a lot of lineup versatility lately.
Horford added he was really proud of the Celtics getting back in the game after Utah’s hot-shooting. Horford said “We kept fighting.” – 12:07 AM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe The Warriors bench lobbied to get the refs to look at that Crowder foul on JTA. It worked – 12:06 AM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb Al Horford on Celtics play amid Utah’s shooting: “We kept fighting.” – 12:06 AM

Jay King @ByJayKing Al Horford obviously disappointed by the loss, but thought that was probably the Celtics’ best offensive game of the year. He said Ime Udoka stressed playing with pace before the game. Horford thought Boston did a good job of that tonight. – 12:04 AM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA Al Horford said he felt like Utah made some really tough, contested threes. – 12:03 AM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS After 3: Warriors 80, Suns 68
-Curry 23, Wiggins 16
-Rebounds: Warriors 43, Suns 31
-Suns shooting only 34.4 pct
Why is it this close? PHX 21/26 FTs, Warriors 3/4 – 12:01 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Clippers up 87-79 at the end of three quarters in Los Angeles despite Paul George and Reggie Jackson missing 12 of 13 3s.
Ivica Zubac and Marcus Morris Sr. join George and Jackson in double figures. Only 7 turnovers for Clippers, which has been the biggest factor along with FTs. – 11:50 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter LAL have been much better in third quarters of late, but tonight were outscored 34-29, allowing the Clippers to take an 87-79 lead into the 4th Q.
LAL kept LAC off the FT line in the period, but the Clippers hit 13 of 24 FG’s, including 7 of 15 3’s (3 from Marcus Morris alone). – 11:50 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet For those wondering why Mikal Bridges isn’t spending more time on Curry tonight…the man played 41 minutes the last 3 games, and 39 minutes the game before that.
Also don’t want to go giving away too much away in a November “schedule loss” – 11:48 PM
