Booker drive, draws foul on Wiggins. Two fouls on Wiggins
Expected to hear roar from crowd considering he only took two free throws Monday at Miami.
Hits both. Tied 9-9. #Suns #Warriors10:17 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiggins is pretty upset at officials, which is unique. He keeps pointing to the refs and saying “That’s two” as in two missed calls. He checks out with 2 fouls – 10:17 PM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Jordan Poole in for Andrew Wiggins – 10:17 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Payne has 2 fouls so Lee is going to check in now. Even more Point Book coming. – 10:16 PM
Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
Damion Lee checking in as the first Suns player off the bench vs. the Warriors – 10:16 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
What happens when Ayton shoots inside, it draws attention from defense, which can open up lanes for Craig to crash the boards.
Got interesting matchups/cross matchups.
Booker on Wiggins.
Payne on Thompson. – 10:16 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Steph Curry’s regular season three-point streak is up to 203 games. – 10:15 PM

Ayton again in the paint.
Bridges offensive rebound leads to Payne 3.

splash brothers finding space early. Curry has gotten free off Booker twice. – 10:12 PM

History isn’t on the Warriors’ side
Steph, Klay and Draymond also have defied it far too many times to put an expiration date on this dynasty nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio…10:12 PM

Ayton jump hook over Mooney
#Suns down 3. – 10:12 PM

Curry on Booker.
5-0 #Suns. Curry 3. – 10:12 PM

Thompson hits first shot.

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors win the tip. Game on. – 10:10 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
So I’m going to state the obvious.
We know what happened between Devin Booker and Klay Thompson last time #Suns and #Warriors played.
There’s mutual respect, but they are both competitive as hell.
That’s not going to change on either front tonight.
Let’s do this. – 10:10 PM

That’s more than Booker, Dame and LaVine combined. pic.twitter.com/2uPtwI5kXQ8:45 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Kerr on Klay:
“In some ways right now Klay just has to get out of his own way and free himself up and just play, enjoy the game instead of wrapping himself up in every single shot.”
Kerr added Klay’s in a good place physically. “He just needs to just relax and go play.” – 8:43 PM

Kenrich Williams skied for that offensive rebound. Then kicked out to Aaron Wiggins for a three. Felt like a big play as the Thunder cut Washington’s lead to two. – 8:33 PM

Monty Williams: Chris Paul better in “small increments,” but not ready.
On Landry Shamet: Williams said he got fined $25K for talking about concussions when in New Orleans.
Not comfortable talking about it.
On FTs, “I’m done with it.” Said James Jones contacted #NBA. #Suns pic.twitter.com/qAl8gX7ipf8:24 PM

Chicago has shot 80%+ from the free-throw line in each of its last 13 games, marking the longest such streak in a season in team history. There have only been 6 streaks as long in NBA history with the record 14-straight by OKC (2011), GSW (2013) & CHA (2017).
