00:00:00We're just he gave in to the step back and my thing is
00:00:04It can only work if you are so worried about him taking a three
00:00:10My thing is I'd rather see him keep taking the jump. Yeah, he's getting to the room with ease right now
00:00:19Yeah, four made threes on nine attempts Randall
00:00:23Drives inside the Suns fourth to miss that time. Oh, so with a rebound of the push here comes good one
00:00:27It's driving across sets up Brooks for the corner look guys
00:00:37Booker stepping out on diva chinzo even chinzo scoreless tonight
00:00:43Edwards and Randall have done their heavy lifting in particular of late Edwards slides inside gets the finger roll
00:00:50And you said he's just getting everything within a few feet of the basket
00:01:00Booker pulling go bear way out of the perimeter
00:01:03Probably the defense finds O'Neill inside
00:01:06Royce is a tough pocket pass
00:01:08Oh
00:01:16It's 71 all
00:01:19NBA cup matchup, Minnesota comes in here to it all the Suns one of them
00:01:24You know being the rest of the record I just you say in cup play as Randall will take a seat. Yeah, I'm really interested to see how
00:01:31How they substitute their bench because the Suns that's really got the best of it. So
00:01:38The game can stay close right here. I think it'd be really interested how that's going to play out
00:01:43Jordan Goodwin tapping it once the second effort will get the whistle
00:01:52Go bear will pick up the personal that will be his third
00:01:54Right again, Jordan Goodwin just finding a way to make an impact
00:02:00When he's on the floor as Colleen Gillespie will check in
00:02:04Suns have gone really small here
00:02:07Try to really offset what the rules have been doing
00:02:11Booker swings it to O'Neill squares fires back iron no
00:02:15Tapped up once twice loose ball. Who's gonna get it, Minnesota?
00:02:21Thumbs Edward to game-high 28
00:02:24He's in his bag
00:02:28As he indicates there with his fifth made three of the game
00:02:37Three of 30 in the previous three games from downtown Suns nearly turn it over again
00:02:42Booker on the drive tied up by Devin Shinzo
00:02:45And then finally a loose ball foul called
00:02:49And that's gonna be charged on Booker. That's gonna be number four on book
00:02:54That's gonna be number four on the drive
00:02:55That's gonna be number four on the drive
00:02:56That's gonna be number four on the drive
00:02:57Yeah, five oh two to go here in the quarter and with that foul that puts the Suns in the penalty
00:03:01Minnesota with three team fouls so Minnesota shooting free throws and
00:03:05Minnesota has been able to harass
00:03:12Minnesota has been able to harass Booker at his six turnovers here in this game
00:03:14Edwards at the free throw line
00:03:16We get a message from our friends at Auto Owners Insurance
00:03:20Auto Owners Insurance
00:03:21Auto Owners thinks the more you protect the more you should save
00:03:22That simple human sense
00:03:23Edwards averaging just over 25 points per game
00:03:27Average 30 against the Suns last season including a 44 point outburst on March the 2nd
00:03:34Some gotta find a way in these five minutes to find some semblance of a rhythm
00:03:41Yeah
00:03:42This has just not been available
00:03:43Let's be extra pass sets up O'Neal for the open look won't get it back tap controlled by Edwards and right now he's doing everything Edwards slow down a little trouble there
00:04:13Oh
00:04:15The official right there he's gonna argue that one but come on
00:04:18Stop me
00:04:23Five-point lead biggest to the night for Minnesota Suns led by 18 back early in the second quarter
00:04:29But his hand was here
00:04:39And that sometimes is enough to hold the guy up
00:04:43Also didn't need to do that like if you're too late to set the screen so be it
00:04:49Yeah, like you're ready to go man. It is no reason to do it
00:04:53Right there put his hand on him
00:04:57Yeah, just enough can't do it
00:05:00That goes down his turnover number 18
00:05:06There is Edwards sons are trying to find an answer they double get the ball out of his hands
00:05:12On the drive inside a whistle and a foul
00:05:15Jalen Clark second-year man out of UCLA will get himself to the charity stripe
00:05:20Mark scoreless in his four minutes
00:05:25You give credit to Minnesota's defense they turned it up sons turned their defense up early on them
00:05:33They are down by a ton and then they turned it up they have not stopped
00:05:38They have not stopped
00:05:41Shopping at Goodwill is nothing but net good value good fines and good fun shop at score at Goodwill
00:05:49Yeah, really from about the five and a half minute mark of the second quarter is when you could kind of
00:05:54Kind of see and feel the extension of that Minnesota defense despite the break it just didn't stop
00:06:02But they're trying to fight through the screen able to rise up and
00:06:06Connect on a three ball
00:06:10First knocked down three tonight for Booker
00:06:12Makes it a three-point game and
00:06:16It will stay Minnesota basketball
00:06:19Gillespie right there
00:06:20Thought he tapped it off of DiVincenzo as Dylan Brooks will check back in
00:06:24Julius Randle will check in for Rudy Gobert
00:06:35These two teams similar in a number of categories
00:06:37His sons return the favor they get the steal this time
00:06:39Up to Florida Gillespie he's got the bigger read on him
00:06:42Hooker sets up in the corner lines it up fires
00:06:46And looking for a back-to-back three-point hits from number one
00:06:51So it's now 11 of 25 Minnesota 9 of 25
00:06:56But Edwards doing all the damage right now
00:06:58Yeah, you just can't lose can't let him just dictate in there
00:07:02That was a good double team
00:07:04Great double team without fouling Edwards on the drive they jam him up
00:07:07They forced a turnover
00:07:16Brooks working on a smaller Clark on the drive inside
00:07:19Look at her separation passing it out now to Booker
00:07:22Booker blowing past Reed had it knocked out of his hands
00:07:26Another Phoenix turnover
00:07:27Edwards on the crossover
00:07:28Timeout Phoenix

00:08:09Well Anthony Edwards has caught fire 20 of his 35 being scored here in this third quarter each
00:08:15And Chris then probably hesitant and worried about taking them out
00:08:30Nothing else was working for them in the first half
00:08:32Also season opening drives inside has it blocked away by Edwards look like there was contact with Reed, but didn't get the whistle
00:08:43Everything running through Anthony Edwards says you would imagine again. You got to be ready to help
00:08:51Some bring the devil sets up Randall for the three big make them shoot
00:08:56I mean that's how you calm down the guy with the hot hands Booker on the drive
00:09:01Another Phoenix turnover
00:09:06Edwards tangs fires to Connelly to the corner won't go rebound Gillespie
00:09:12Gillespie 16 points for the game Booker lines it up
00:09:18In and out no
00:09:19Up the floor to Edwards
00:09:28There's under two left here in the third quarter has been dominated by Minnesota
00:09:33Randall on the drive and nearly forced the turnover
00:09:39Nine on the shot clock as Ryan Dunn will check in
00:09:42I think it's a good stuff for Devin
00:09:44Those shots he's missing in and out
00:09:47So he that's not the issue the issue of that thing you know you get a chance to think about
00:09:52How you gonna slow it down?
00:09:53Yeah, I think he sped his game up a little bit
00:09:57He's gotten him in trouble
00:09:59Randall on the drive
00:10:01And we'll get the whistle and a foul
00:10:03It's number four on Dylan Brooks
00:10:10He got Brooks and Booker both with four personal fouls
00:10:15But again, it's about the team
00:10:18Foul situation that
00:10:20T-wolves have been in the bonus for the last
00:10:23Four plus minutes
00:10:24This is so hard to I think
00:10:26Really
00:10:27For an official to really worth anything with Julius Grant
00:10:31Because he is looking to hit you
00:10:34Every time
00:10:36The Suns will play their next home game
00:10:37Coming up this Sunday

00:10:56Randall with 17
00:11:08Barfix is the defense on Gillespie
00:11:14Widdles away from the double team
00:11:15Gets back to the right hand
00:11:17Calling on the drive to spin
00:11:19Take it to finish
00:11:20It's flying across to the office
00:11:21It's last work
00:11:22Was Ryan Dunn
00:11:25Brooks trying to drive
00:11:26He'll take the step back three instead
00:11:29Got it
00:11:31High degree of difficulty
00:11:32Makes it a four-point game
00:11:37Makes it a four-point game
00:11:39Here is Randall head down
00:11:40Barrels down the lane
00:11:41And another whistle at a foul
00:11:43Where if you're Ryan Dunn, right?
00:11:44You gotta know
00:11:46If Julius Randall starts his drive
00:11:49From where he did
00:11:51Help's gonna be there
00:11:52And so you don't have to be overly aggressive
00:11:54Like you
00:11:55You just gotta trust your teammates
00:11:57Is gonna be there for you
00:11:58And guess what?
00:11:59If they're not there
00:12:00Then that's on them
00:12:01It's not your fault
00:12:03And so he did the
00:12:04Right thing
00:12:05He made him drive
00:12:06On an off angle
00:12:07But then again
00:12:08You can't be overly aggressive
00:12:10Now they got the foul on
00:12:11Diggadaro
00:12:12So he was
00:12:17But right there, right?
00:12:19And so you're right
00:12:20Also grabbed his arm
00:12:25You just can't do that
00:12:26Like make him make a tough shot
00:12:28You still have Anthony Edwards
00:12:29Is making tough shots
00:12:30I mean everybody else
00:12:31Right
00:12:32That's because you know
00:12:33Sometimes you just get caught up
00:12:34In it and think
00:12:35Oh man, they're just raining shots
00:12:37No, Anthony Edwards is raining shots
00:12:39That's about it right now for them
00:12:42Final minute of the third quarter
00:12:44Sons trailing by five
00:12:47Brooks on the drive
00:12:49Leans in on Reed
00:12:51And will get the whistle
00:12:53And the foul
00:12:54Reed picking up the personal
00:12:55That will be
00:12:56His second
00:12:58Team foul
00:12:59Here's the beautiful thing
00:13:00Sons have given up the lead
00:13:02Anthony Edwards has gone crazy
00:13:05Sooner late he gotta go sit down
00:13:07And if he doesn't sit down
00:13:08And then you'd like to think
00:13:09He's gonna get tired
00:13:10Right
00:13:11And so
00:13:12He's kind of win both ways
00:13:14But
00:13:15I think it'd be interesting to see
00:13:16How Jordan
00:13:17Ott
00:13:18Substitutes to begin the fourth quarter
00:13:20Now the great thing he took
00:13:21Devon out
00:13:22Right
00:13:23Chances may be
00:13:24What's it mean at the beginning of it
00:13:25So
00:13:26Is this the chess match right now
00:13:27That's going on between
00:13:28Finch and Jordan Ott
00:13:30Three point game
00:13:31First matchup of the season
00:13:32Between these teams
00:13:34Losing for Jordan Ott
00:13:35Who gets benched
00:13:36To the Timberwolves
00:13:37And the Suns
00:13:38Forced another turnover
00:13:39Suns looking to run
00:13:41Gillespie fields
00:13:43A defender behind him
00:13:44Brooks
00:13:45Gillespie calling for it
00:13:47Suns can't get it to him
00:13:48Brooks on a tough
00:13:49Contested turnaround
00:13:53And now Mike Connelly
00:13:54Is going to be whistled
00:13:55For a foul
00:13:56And Dylan Brooks
00:13:57Baiting the 19 year
00:13:58Veteran Connelly
00:14:00Into
00:14:01A personal foul
00:14:12Ryan Dunn
00:14:13Jordan Goodwin
00:14:14Will take a seat
00:14:15And Mike Connelly
00:14:16Can't complain
00:14:17In his prime
00:14:18He was a master
00:14:19Yeah
00:14:20Drawing those fouls
00:14:21So
00:14:22All he can do
00:14:23Is just giggle
00:14:26You know
00:14:27What he thought
00:14:28He thought Dillon
00:14:29Would withstand his hit
00:14:30He thought that he would
00:14:31Just absorb it
00:14:32Dillon
00:14:33Dillon too smart for that
00:14:34Yeah
00:14:35He was going to take the fall
00:14:38About a three second
00:14:39Difference between shot
00:14:40And game clock
00:14:41Here
00:14:42Suns trailing by three
00:14:43You won't exhaust it
00:14:44As much as you can
00:14:45But you don't want to wait
00:14:46Too long
00:14:47You want to get a good look
00:14:48Here
00:14:49Booker coming off the
00:14:50Screen
00:14:51Gets to the elbow
00:14:53Hits the deck
00:14:55Both still fighting for it
00:14:56Suns keep the possession alive
00:14:58And then a late loose ball foul
00:15:00And that will be
00:15:02Team foul number five
00:15:03So free throws coming here
00:15:04For Royce O'Neal
00:15:05With 2.5 left
00:15:07In the quarter
00:15:08So you know
00:15:13It wins and his losses
00:15:15During the course of a
00:15:1648 minute game
00:15:17For the 24 second shot clock
00:15:19So
00:15:20Suns early
00:15:21They were winning
00:15:22Wolves made their run
00:15:23Came back in 13
00:15:24Here
00:15:25In the quarter
00:15:26Now the Suns
00:15:27With an opportunity
00:15:28To end the quarter
00:15:29Only down
00:15:30One point
00:15:31So
00:15:32That's a win for them
00:15:34Based on the
00:15:35Poor shooting
00:15:36And the tunnel
00:15:37With that they've had
00:15:38Here before
00:15:49O'Neal gets the pair
00:15:51He's got ten points
00:15:52And Brooks and Randall
00:15:54Continue to
00:15:55Chirp and
00:15:56Shatter one another
00:15:58Read
00:15:59Lost the handle
00:16:00Fires it from the hip
00:16:01Fires it from the hip
00:16:04And we've got more
00:16:08Dribble fireworks
00:16:09There's Brooks
00:16:10And Randall
00:16:11Shares some sweet nothings
00:16:14We've got a thriller
00:16:15A one point game
00:16:16Here in the desert
00:16:17We head to the fourth
00:16:18Minnesota in front
00:16:1982-81
00:16:20You're watching
00:16:21Phoenix Suns basketball
00:16:22On Arizona's Family Sports
00:16:29We head to the fourth
00:16:30Fourth quarter here
00:16:31Where Minnesota's in front
00:16:3282-81
00:16:33And it's time of the
00:16:34Mountain America Credit Union
00:16:35The exclusive home
00:16:36Of the Suns card
00:16:40The leading scores
00:16:4120 of those for
00:16:42Anthony Edwards
00:16:43Coming in that third quarter
00:16:44You saw they outscored
00:16:45The Suns
00:16:4633-19
00:16:49Take a one point lead
00:16:50As we head to the fourth
00:16:51Big game
00:16:52NBA Cup matchup
00:16:53Minnesota 2-0
00:16:55In group play
00:16:56On the drive
00:16:57Blocks away
00:16:58Richards able to recover
00:16:59For the shot clock
00:17:00Just does
00:17:01Recognizes
00:17:02But
00:17:03Way too much
00:17:04Heat on that one
00:17:06That goes down as turnover
00:17:21Number 22 for Phoenix
00:17:22Yeah
00:17:23Who's gonna be the guy from Minnesota to get aggressive?
00:17:27We're trying to get even
00:17:28Tinsel's a good look
00:17:29Here's McDaniels gets to look in the corner
00:17:33Won't get it
00:17:34Back tap
00:17:35Gillespie's got it
00:17:36Gobert trailing on the play
00:17:38So they've got an advantage
00:17:39Goodwin
00:17:41Right wing three
00:17:42No
00:17:43Richards
00:17:44On the offensive blast
00:17:45Hard move there
00:17:46Yeah
00:17:47You got to get out of there
00:17:48You got to get out of there with McDaniels and Gobert lurking
00:17:54Offensive foul on Richards
00:17:57I know it's difficult for you know guys setting screens
00:18:00And they're gonna get caught every now and then
00:18:04But I think sometimes in their head
00:18:06They think that they've gotta get the guy every time
00:18:09Right
00:18:10And it's not the case
00:18:11Make the guy go around
00:18:13And it's up to Colin now
00:18:14To negotiate
00:18:18Here is Nas Reed
00:18:20He's such an integral part to their success over the last few seasons
00:18:24Tough runner there
00:18:25He's got nine
00:18:26So I'll just give it away again
00:18:29Lose ball rebound McDaniels try to save it but
00:18:32The Suns fortunate
00:18:34And
00:18:35I mean I think the biggest thing that the frustrating thing is
00:18:38The Suns have not adjusted to the pressure that Minnesota has been applying now for two and a half quarters
00:18:45Yeah, and then I think the Suns really is shocked that
00:18:50They're hanging in the backcourt over over playing you know
00:18:54Obviously passes that try to get out quickly because the Suns what they did to them early on
00:18:59Right so outlet passes are a problem
00:19:02So that's why you have to be careful
00:19:04Even Shinzo chasing Gillespie
00:19:07Collin on the drive
00:19:09Still went away
00:19:10Loose ball
00:19:11Gathered in
00:19:12They're gonna change the possession so a fresh shot clock
00:19:15A tough drive
00:19:16Right at Mount Gobert by Cody
00:19:19Yeah, they didn't worry about Gobert chasing him from behind
00:19:23Even Shinzo
00:19:25Pulling for three
00:19:26He remains scoreless
00:19:27Yeah, that's what they're trying to get going
00:19:29And man on the bench
00:19:34Suns need to take advantage good one on the drive
00:19:38He did not touch the ball
00:19:41He did not touch it
00:19:46Well that's
00:19:48That's a tough one hand was there but it did not appear
00:19:51That's the one you should be able to have to go look at that
00:19:56This let's see
00:19:58Maybe from this angle we see
00:20:02All right
00:20:03Finger was closed but it didn't appear as though there was contact doesn't matter
00:20:0784 83 Minnesota by one
00:20:10These two teams identical records of the last ten games both eight and two
00:20:14Reed trying to back down sets up Connelly straightaway look
00:20:21Forty-six percent shooter on the season from downtown
00:20:26Historically he'll hit big shot
00:20:27Yep
00:20:28No matter what
00:20:29He can't do all the things he used to do
00:20:31But man he'll hit the big shots for you
00:20:34Yeah, and you know that he can hit him even though he has a shot at high volume
00:20:39At this first start
00:20:42Last game with a big shorthand McDaniels
00:20:46And Dunn rolls inside
00:20:48Looking to do damage on Gobert
00:20:50And Dunn
00:20:52In a lot of pain as he hits the deck
00:20:57Gobert met him right at the top
00:21:00Ryan taking a nasty spill
00:21:08Give the young man credit
00:21:11Give the young man credit
00:21:13No, he's not intimidated by nobody
00:21:17And
00:21:18Gobert might say he blocked it but he really didn't
00:21:21He just got him with the arm a little bit so
00:21:23He was getting ready to get posterized
00:21:33That's gonna require a post game adjustment
00:21:35It's good for the officials that give him time to get himself together
00:21:41Yeah, Kevin Scott the crew chief
00:21:43Kind enough to give him just a moment to kind of
00:21:46Gather himself
00:21:52First free throw attempt of the Knights for Ryan
00:21:56At nine points
00:21:58Career high five steals in the 26 minutes of the win on Wednesday night at Portland
00:22:02Kind of laid off that second one a little bit since he was strong in the first and
00:22:11Nearly got himself a tip in
00:22:13Yeah, it would have been the case for the sons all night, right?
00:22:16Yeah
00:22:18Normally this year the ball bounces their way
00:22:21Tonight Minnesota's got all of the machines
00:22:24There's the veteran Connelly now in year number 19 off the law go bear able to hang it
00:22:33Gather it up and in
00:22:35Yeah, I'm not all for really trying to focus in on deep in China. Oh guys just not I just think let's see if he can make a bucket
00:22:42Reed stepping out Booker chase by go bear look we're able to get back to the left hand
00:22:49And then a kick
00:22:51I'd rather see Devon. He's got the matchup kind of back it out on go bear
00:22:56Go around try to get around it
00:22:59As he did, you know one of the first plays in the first quarterback
00:23:03Yeah, cuz we've seen through the years he will often invite that big man to come out
00:23:08Great, but if you allow him to be in mid space on you to where he's good or close enough to be able to contest
00:23:15That's when you have your issues with
00:23:20Let's be working on Connelly drives inside
00:23:24Can't get the finish
00:23:30Even chins are really gonna play
00:23:33Archie three his first point to the Knights and that will prompt a Phoenix timeouts biggest lead of the Knights for Minnesota 92 84
00:23:42The Suns with 829 to go here in a fourth quarter as we check out the Honeywell Aerospace above the rim
00:23:59Anthony that was he put on the show here a little calm early on but he just took over
00:24:09Look, I know it's not that easy to stop him from getting to the rim
00:24:13But then he started opening it up from outside
00:24:16Yeah, and so once that happened you're at the mercy of him
00:24:19Yeah, he is 5 of 10 from downtown a game high 35 points
00:24:27Minnesota is 32 and 7 when he is made 5 or more 3 since the beginning of last season
00:24:34Yeah, compared to 533 33 and all the other games
00:24:37Yeah, and then on top of it, you know, I thought the Suns maybe could make some in bros
00:24:42Just based on him being over on the bench
00:24:46But
00:24:48It's a really tough pull up in the paint won't get it son spotting for it
00:24:52And they're short good one again
00:24:54My kind of the can't deal with in there. So whoever's he's guarding him
00:24:59He's gonna have a hard time
00:25:00Edwards coming to the scores table so the Suns trying to do all they can to stay
00:25:08Tied closely here to Minnesota
00:25:11The lob go bear can't get the finger on once twice three times
00:25:15And then a foul on the last tip in
00:25:21That's gonna be on horse that's gonna be number five for that
00:25:25That is a maximum penalty right there
00:25:28That's gonna be the maximum penalty right there
00:25:36Right there, you know, you're two little guys down there with them
00:25:39So Mark Williams was hanging
00:25:41Mark hesitated to get in there
00:25:43And that that's where he'll probably say, oh, okay, I shouldn't have done that
00:25:47Right. If he gets in there after the first miss, then I think he's there to contest
00:25:51So he's playing with five Booker on the floor with poor
00:25:55It doesn't matter. I mean they still they gotta stay aggressive. Yeah, because they can't fall back too much
00:26:04Plenty of time left, but they cannot continue to fall back. Can't worry about foul trouble
00:26:10Well
00:26:12Value in the basketball has got to be first and foremost
00:26:15Booker trying to turn the corner on David Shinzo driving out of the paint
00:26:21Elbow jumper off the mark. He'll draw the foul
00:26:24He'll get himself to the retail line
00:26:27That was three or sixteen right now that that does him a favor
00:26:31I mean like
00:26:33He just needs to see the ball go in
00:26:34Yeah, it has been a tough night for Booker you took your cap to Minnesota's defense
00:26:43He is garnered all the attention and he knocked down the fruit
00:26:47The Sun said seven made threes at the half and anytime they do that you can head to an Arizona Carl Junior location tomorrow
00:26:53And get a free single Western bacon cheeseburger or single famous star with cheese
00:26:57The purchase of a large-sized fountain drink order ahead on Carl Junior Anthony's in promo code son seven three seven
00:27:08Couple of stops. Who wonders?
00:27:13Seven point game
00:27:16Edwards outside
00:27:18Steven Shinzo in the catch at two three no
00:27:21Back tap and a loose ball foul cold. I think it's gonna be on Mark Williams. It will be
00:27:25That'll be his fourth
00:27:35Well look win or lose
00:27:38The Suns are gonna get a lot of valuable intel out of this game, but without a doubt there
00:27:44One just take care of the ball
00:27:46Right you have to and when you're small like this you can't give more than second third shot
00:27:51Shot clock winding down good one on the contest of the Phoenix basketball
00:28:01Minnesota give them credit they've negated the Suns ability to get out and run like they did early in the game. Yeah
00:28:06Yeah
00:28:09Yes, sunset 12 fast break points in the first quarter
00:28:17They've had four cents
00:28:20Booker working on McDaniels
00:28:21On the crossover drops it off in traffic Williams
00:28:26Catching it Booker on the offensive glass
00:28:29Tight up inside has a ripper behind
00:28:32Edwards on the drive Suns
00:28:34nearly able to jam him up and get the steal but instead
00:28:37Ant-Man converts
00:28:38Brooks on the drive with a floater
00:28:44Brooks on the drive with a floater
00:28:57But Booker's got to be careful. Yes. He is draped all over McDaniels. It's become kind of a
00:29:02A personal battle between me and Jim McDaniels
00:29:06Bristol for the push-off
00:29:11That is number three on
00:29:13Anthony Edwards
00:29:23What's O'Neill checks in?
00:29:25Let's be stays out there and nothing but a couple of threes can cure
00:29:30Telling
00:29:32This is the guy that was sticking them in the first half with threes
00:29:35Colin this time they crossed the
00:29:37Lane
00:29:39Hits the little pull-up in the paint that'll prompt
00:29:41a Chris Finch timeout
00:29:43549 to go
00:29:45A tight win here in this NBA Cup battle
00:29:48Jordan Goodwin
00:30:02Just playing a solid defense. He didn't look off in the running
00:30:06The first half was splendid. Hey look yeah 549 left and again this movie's not over
00:30:14Only a five point deficit
00:30:19Who can step up?
00:30:22They're not allowing Devin to get any looks that's okay
00:30:25That means somebody's open great and just understand that and just be ready to knock them down
00:30:32Here is Edwards
00:30:34He's tied his season high with 14 made field goals
00:30:38He'll drive inside get the whistle and a foul
00:30:40Three throws coming here for
00:30:43Ant-Man. He's 4 of 5 on the night. Minnesota 14 of 19
00:30:47Sons have gotten to the line 22 times they've made 18 but
00:30:53They've just not been
00:30:55Able to overcome the 27 points that Minnesota has gotten via the tunnel
00:31:0125 turn
00:31:03Yeah, 26. Yeah, that's just
00:31:05You're not gonna beat many
00:31:07No, and they're blessed to be this close and it's only because of the pristine first half that they have
00:31:13I would say the first
00:31:1618 minutes, right?
00:31:19Yeah, last five minutes wasn't so good but that 18 minutes allows them to be where they are right now
00:31:26Did book it going? That's the question
00:31:29First one up inside leaving short Williams on the rebound
00:31:33On the putback attempt to whistle at a foul called on Gobert
00:31:38Well, they're looking back at the bench. That's number 5 on Gobert
00:31:43Yeah, Minnesota does not have a challenge as Rudy is just now learning
00:31:48You know what I'm noticing like with Devin and McDaniels guarding him and I can only refer back
00:31:53to when I would face guys that had the limp like he did and guys like Derrick McKee
00:32:01guys like that
00:32:03I never tried to go off the dribble to score on them
00:32:08I played off the ball and I ran and I tried to shake loose from them coming off screen like the catches
00:32:15and get the separation and then have a look
00:32:18But it's just extremely tough when you're trying to get the shot over McDaniels
00:32:23Yeah, he's 6'9
00:32:24He's got
00:32:26I mean his arms are as long as like what Rashear Fleming's are
00:32:29So he's got like a 7'5'7'6' wingspan
00:32:32Drop it off inside, McDaniels to Gobert
00:32:37And now with so much attention being focused on Edwards
00:32:40The others are getting involved
00:32:41Exactly
00:32:43Well, they're getting involved with layoffs
00:32:44O'Neal higher to three on the way splashdown from Rolls-Royce
00:32:50A three-point game
00:32:53Just under five to go
00:32:55I still say you continue to get the ball out of everyone
00:32:58I'm gonna get an offensive foul on Devin Kinzo
00:33:04He was trying to bait Kevin Scott
00:33:07Into calling it the other way around
00:33:08But
00:33:09Noice another multi three game three of six
00:33:24Booker driving
00:33:26Gobert chasing
00:33:27Yeah, he had Williams but Gobert so long
00:33:30Booker driving on Randall fading at the baseline
00:33:35Big baseline bucket
00:33:39One-point game
00:33:41Maybe that'll be the one that lights the fuse late here
00:33:44For Booker
00:33:46Randall driving
00:33:48Way across the lane
00:33:50Vicenzo outside to Edwards behind the strike
00:33:53Won't get it
00:33:54Sun to a loose ball rebound
00:33:56And then a backcourt foul on Julius Randall
00:33:59That's right
00:34:01Julius Randall in the backcourt
00:34:02There's no matter if he's trying to steal the ball or not
00:34:06What he did was he grabbed his arm
00:34:08And so because of that
00:34:10You gotta get ball
00:34:11If Julius Randall gets ball
00:34:13Then okay
00:34:14I mean okay you try to make a defensive play
00:34:17But it looks like he hit his arm
00:34:21So that's the case he didn't touch any ball at all
00:34:24So it came clear across the line
00:34:25And that's why
00:34:27He knows better
00:34:28Chris Bench is
00:34:30Livid with Robert Hussey the
00:34:32Fourth-year official
00:34:33But it does not matter again
00:34:34They don't have a challenge
00:34:38And with that
00:34:40Free throw we are knotted at 100
00:34:42So now this becomes a four-minute game
00:34:44Big game
00:34:48Gillespie
00:34:50Back and forth
00:34:52Down in the hands of Booker
00:34:55Booker working on Randall
00:34:57Trying to spin baseline
00:35:00Back to the left hand
00:35:02Drops it off to Williams
00:35:03Five on the shot clock
00:35:04Williams gets it up
00:35:05Gets it in
00:35:07So it's back in front
00:35:09Devin's got to be careful now
00:35:13He's got five fouls
00:35:15McDaniels spinning in the paint back to DiVincenzo
00:35:21Randall from the corner
00:35:23No
00:35:25Rebound Brooks
00:35:27But I think they're gonna get
00:35:29The foul on if it's on
00:35:30If it's on
00:35:34If it's on Brooks that's
00:35:36Number six
00:35:38Who'd they get?
00:35:45See Booker trying to box out
00:35:47And then
00:35:48Boy
00:35:52Some French theater
00:35:53I don't even know who the fouls on
00:35:54Brooks
00:35:56Yeah so that is number six
00:35:58So that is number six
00:36:00On Dylan
00:36:01Unfortunately
00:36:07But the Suns do have a challenge correct?
00:36:09No
00:36:13Suns do have a challenge
00:36:14Yeah
00:36:16I don't
00:36:28They're coming over for clarification as
00:36:39I think the Suns coaching staff
00:36:42Thought that Dylan had four before that foul
00:36:45Yeah I didn't remember him having five
00:36:50But they changed it on the scoreboard to five
00:36:53Yeah it's six
00:36:54Six on them
00:36:55Well they they they have clearly
00:37:19But wait a minute
00:37:20So it was called on Booker and not
00:37:23Brooks
00:37:27Wow
00:37:29Devon gets the technical foul as well
00:37:31They originally had
00:37:33Dylan listed as the foul on
00:37:40Let's take another look at it
00:37:41You can see Booker try to box out
00:37:43Oh come on
00:37:47Oh come on
00:37:49And then do that Gobert fall
00:37:52That's a tough one
00:37:56He's got to dig in here
00:37:58Suns by one
00:38:05Edwards lot of dribbling one of the shot clock
00:38:07Sets it up for Devin Chinzo
00:38:12Now he was quiet all night
00:38:13But he's hit two big threes here in this fourth quarter now
00:38:16Scoreless to tell
00:38:22Which it is for the Suns free up Colin Gillespie
00:38:25Who had the big first half
00:38:27Well he'll driving on Randall
00:38:28But also I think because that was not out there
00:38:31They might just go mano mano which will allow the good look
00:38:35Brooks on a tough turn and scores over Edwards
00:38:39Tied at 104
00:38:45Brooks just hammering DeVincenzo Edwards with a tough contested three but they're going to get a whistle and a foul
00:39:00Well let's see is that on Gillespie or Brooks?
00:39:04Gillespie I think
00:39:06That is on Colin
00:39:08Colin can't drink the Kool-Aid
00:39:10Like we know that he's made a ton of threes
00:39:12That time he had him going to his left
00:39:16With two defenders
00:39:18You just don't do it
00:39:20Like it is
00:39:22You don't do it
00:39:24Like you can you're not blocking his shot
00:39:26Like you're not blocking it
00:39:28And trust me
00:39:30You're not bothering him by jumping
00:39:32Like so
00:39:34He beat you off the dribble
00:39:35And you just turn and you block out
00:39:37Is this
00:39:39That part I think
00:39:40Really in today's game because of the
00:39:43Fear of the three
00:39:45Sometimes players just get too
00:39:47In a job rate
00:39:49To
00:39:50When they put a guy's taking it
00:39:51That's the second
00:39:53He's calling on Dylan Brooks
00:39:55The lay of get on Brooks
00:39:58Go ahead we're good three from the line
00:40:01Got forty one on the night
00:40:05Got forty one on the night
00:40:35Brooks working on Edwards
00:40:45That's fifteen foul so
00:40:48In the bonus here for Phoenix Brooks to the charity strike
00:40:53Edwards picking up his fourth personal
00:40:55So he's got to make the free throws
00:40:57This is one of these games where it does it gets like
00:40:59This is the one they kicked himself even more
00:41:01I believe in the Atlanta game
00:41:03Because oh without a doubt because this
00:41:06Hey this is like turnover alley and just missed opportunities
00:41:09McDaniels drive across the lane kick to the diva chins up on the three ball no
00:41:12Well bear tipping once twice loose ball who's got it Brooks has it scramble
00:41:13On the deck
00:41:14But it's so to try to call it
00:41:16I believe in the Atlanta game
00:41:18I believe in the Atlanta game
00:41:20Because oh without a doubt because this
00:41:23Hey this is like turnover alley and just missed opportunities
00:41:28McDaniels drive across the lane kick to the diva chins up on the three ball no
00:41:34Well bear tipping once twice loose ball who's got it Brooks has it scramble on the deck
00:41:39On the deck
00:41:42Minnesota try to call a timeout do they have possession
00:41:55The question becomes was their actual possession at any point in that skirmish
00:42:04Let's take a look here
00:42:09No Dylan Brooks got the ball
00:42:12Well it is look the the beneficiary being directly in front of their bench was a major factor in that as well because I
00:42:33didn't see a whole lot of clear possession by Julius Randle it looked like
00:42:37Very much a loose basketball but still one possession game you gotta get a stop. Yeah, that's it. They got 12 seconds on the shot clock
00:42:46Right there he never had the ball he never had a hundred percent control what I mean I don't know how you reward them with a timeout
00:43:04Reward them with a timeout
00:43:07When no one player had full control
00:43:10But they get right here
00:43:12Obviously the ball is going to Edward
00:43:15Yeah, you gotta watch it really quick pick and roll
00:43:18And this is what he's really explosive. Okay, so you
00:43:21Defensively so I really got to be connected here with concentration
00:43:24And talking
00:43:27Because I don't believe he's going to exhaust the time clock I think they're going to go right away
00:43:35They're going to go right away
00:43:45Suns bring the double team across the four down at McDaniels three at the shot clock
00:43:50Pull over the paint got it
00:43:53Big bucket from Jane McDaniels back after being absent in their game wins tonight
00:43:59He's got 13
00:44:02Sons have got to have a bucket here
00:44:09And it sort of turns him over again
00:44:19One of the things you're not is going to talk about
00:44:22On film is the Suns kind of shrunk
00:44:27When the pressure defensively was ramped up on
00:44:30And they know better most teams when they're down a ton like the Suns were
00:44:35We're going to ramp up with the physicality
00:44:38By the back Suns just got a
00:44:40Lesson in that two games ago, right?
00:44:42And they really bowed down to the physicality
00:44:46Of the Timberwolves just to force them into turnovers
00:44:51What?
00:44:53This is hard to win a game
00:44:55You're flirting with this many turnovers
00:44:58Yeah
00:45:02Yeah, even though
00:45:04You know again just underscoring all that as
00:45:06Randall fighting
00:45:08And now a loose ball foul called on Royce O'Neal
00:45:11But the Suns have shot a higher percentage
00:45:15Not by much at 46%
00:45:17Shot better from three
00:45:19Shot better from the free-throw line
00:45:21They've out-rebounded Minnesota
00:45:22So they've won a new
00:45:24Numerous categories
00:45:26But it's a turnover
00:45:2828 points off of 27 turnovers
00:45:31Yeah
00:45:35And look Phoenix
00:45:36Not to discount their defense
00:45:39They've got 19 points off of the 19 turnovers they force
00:45:42But right that tells you how just how close this game is
00:45:44Close the second point game
00:45:45Close the game is
00:45:52Randall wanted to
00:45:55Well again a three right here
00:45:57Makes it a one possession game
00:45:59Boy Gillespie had McDaniels up
00:46:01Whistle and a foul
00:46:03Whistle and a foul
00:46:05And McDaniels and O'Neal
00:46:09Having some words
00:46:10Foul on McDaniels
00:46:12Stops the clock with 1-13
00:46:14Seven point game
00:46:20That's the Minnesota team
00:46:22Scored at least 110 points in each of their
00:46:25Now 16 games this season
00:46:28Which makes them just one shy
00:46:31The longest streak to begin a season in league history
00:46:33They've got 42 straight road games
00:46:38Make it now 43 with a hundred plus points
00:46:40That's the second longest streak
00:46:43In the NBA
00:46:45Seven misses in three
00:46:47In the last
00:46:49Couple of minutes
00:46:50Up the port of D. Vincenzo
00:46:51And done making contact
00:47:04Over here is getting ready to go after the smallest guy on the floor I would say well what happened when you
00:47:14Could have gone after Draymond
00:47:16Stop
00:47:24Barely touched him
00:47:26Come on man you gonna go after the small guy
00:47:28Stop
00:47:32He was going for the ball it was not a
00:47:34I just think
00:47:36What is he expected to do?
00:47:39Like you know he's gonna let you have a dunk
00:47:48He didn't hit him he didn't probably hear the whistle
00:47:51Maybe he did
00:47:52That's not been a big night for Dante D. Vincenzo but boy
00:48:00He was scoreless through the first
00:48:03Three plus quarters
00:48:05But they did their job
00:48:07Like you know he hit a few but they did their job on him
00:48:12More so the hot streak of Anthony Evans in that third quarter
00:48:16I thought this really took over
00:48:19Let's be kind of stumbling long in the dribble
00:48:22What is wrong with this ball?
00:48:24As soon to be asking themselves that a lot after this one
00:48:27Brooks fires a contested three O'Neal with the offense to put back
00:48:38Sons get the steal
00:48:40Goody fires a three
00:48:41Splashdown
00:48:45Not
00:48:47Over yet
00:48:49No foul
00:48:51Make them make a shot
00:48:54Randall nearly had it stolen by Brooks
00:48:57Dylan's got to be careful
00:48:59Do not make it easy for him
00:49:02Edwards on the drive
00:49:03Kicks it to Randall
00:49:05Randall in traffic
00:49:06Sons turn him over
00:49:08Goodwin
00:49:09Drab it to the basket
00:49:10Sneaks it up in the end
00:49:15One point game
00:49:17Sons get it back
00:49:19Inside
00:49:21But an offensive foul
00:49:22And that's going to be on Brooks
00:49:29Wow
00:49:33Sons came up with another Minnesota turnover
00:49:35Turnover
00:49:45Well I think the Suns are going to challenge this might as well
00:49:47Well you got 18 seconds left so why not
00:49:52We'll keep it here
00:49:53Phoenix is going to come out to challenge the offensive foul
00:49:54Let's see here we go
00:50:16He's grabbing it well he doesn't have his arm
00:50:18He doesn't have his arm
00:50:19He doesn't have his arm
00:50:27I mean we'll credit Julius Randall for flopping
00:50:29No one can push him down
00:50:31That's what you're trained to do
00:50:33You get a back screen like that
00:50:35They're going to call it
00:50:36Yeah
00:50:41Yeah I would
00:50:43Be very surprised if this one
00:50:46Gets overturned
00:50:48But okay
00:50:49Still look regardless
00:50:51If it doesn't the one possession against Rick
00:50:54And
00:50:56Sons have a timeout as well
00:50:59Who would have thought they'd be right here
00:51:01Right now you know
00:51:03Devin Booker fouling out
00:51:05Yeah so it looks like it's going to be
00:51:15An unsuccessful challenge as Kevin Scott talking to the
00:51:20Scores team
00:51:22It would have been the Suns ball to bounce
00:51:24Brooks illegally shoves his opponent in the back
00:51:27Committing illegal contact
00:51:29The challenge is unsuccessful
00:51:30Phoenix will be charged to timeout
00:51:33The game clock will be reset to 18.7
00:51:35It will be Minnesota ball to free throw line extended
00:51:41And so Dylan Brooks fouling out
00:51:48And Minnesota is going to follow that up with a timeout
00:51:52Of their own
00:51:53So here was the flurry of activity
00:52:01Nick that pulled the Suns within one
00:52:04So Gillespie able to get the steal
00:52:09Goody
00:52:11Drops it in from distance
00:52:18What about Goodwin against Anthony Edwards?
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:21Just didn't even pay attention to him
00:52:23Cut off the angle to Edwards
00:52:25Yeah and didn't allow the Vincenzo any kind of a shot at blocking it
00:52:31Oh, Jordan Goodwin again off the bench 13.6 rebounds 4 assists
00:52:36No
00:52:37Listen
00:52:39Look
00:52:41You got to get the ball inbound
00:52:43So you got
00:52:45I would say exhaust
00:52:47So the Suns only have one timeout left
00:52:49Right?
00:52:50Same for minutes so because of that
00:52:52You don't want the clock to run down too much because you might have to file again
00:52:56So in regards to if you score and you're down one
00:53:01So what you want to do is have more time left
00:53:04So at the end maybe if you have to take it out to tie the game or win the game
00:53:09You at least have maybe four to five seconds
00:53:13So right now it's not you don't want to
00:53:16Foul obviously before the inbound
00:53:19So that's the key because then that's one free throw
00:53:22And I should clarify Minnesota out of timeouts now
00:53:25That was their final one Joe Ingles who hasn't played all night
00:53:28The 12-year vet coming in to inbound the basketball
00:53:31Oso will defend the inbound
00:53:33Oh
00:53:35Ryan Dunn didn't see it
00:53:37You got a foul
00:53:38You got a foul
00:53:40Foul
00:53:42Ryan Dunn did not see that out of bounds
00:53:43Yeah had his eyes turned back
00:53:44That was he has been a layup
00:53:47I mean it's that was one of the worst passes I could
00:53:51I mean that have a whole lot on it because you're passing it to the other end
00:53:55We can see a replay of that inbound play
00:53:58Now you just watch
00:54:05Keep the door open
00:54:07Trying to get a timeout as well
00:54:09Now here's the thing you've got to block out
00:54:12I like the substitutions of also
00:54:15How to put Nick Richards in too
00:54:17It doesn't matter because you're going to call timeout
00:54:20Right
00:54:22Edwards misses Suns get the rebound and get the timeout
00:54:26Oh and who's ready to eat
00:54:31Ant-Man who had a can't miss third quarter
00:54:34misses two huge free throws
00:54:40And with that double miss everybody in the building
00:54:45Going home with a free ChickBiLay breakfast andre
00:54:50Mmmm
00:54:52113
00:54:54112
00:54:55I smell a wild finish
00:55:25You know what to do sub-fans
00:55:34Let them know
00:55:5511.5 left Dylan Brooks, Devin Booker have both fouled out
00:56:07It's about to see the ball get into Colin Gillespie's hands
00:56:11He enjoyed the good one right now
00:56:12You would love one of those guys to get the look
00:56:15Gillespie's got it
00:56:18Works it inside, tough runner
00:56:20Gets it up and in
00:56:22Minnesota, no timeouts remaining
00:56:24Into the hands of Randall
00:56:26Randall, two seconds left
00:56:28With the shot, no good
00:56:30No good
00:56:31And the Suns
00:56:33With an improbable, unlikely, unbelievable
00:56:38Comeback
00:56:39With Colin
00:56:41The Villain Jr
00:56:43Stinging him late
00:56:45With a game winner
00:56:47And Minnesota
00:56:48And the Timberwolves who partied all second half
00:56:51They walk out with their heads down
00:56:54What an unbelievable
00:56:56I don't want to quit ballgame
00:56:59It's just this team right there
00:57:01That's an example
00:57:01Of what
00:57:03Suns fans this year is going to see
00:57:05No quit
00:57:07No nothing
00:57:08And look, Devin Booker, Dylan Brooks on the bench
00:57:11So
00:57:13I felt that this young man had the ball in his hands
00:57:20Kay Ray, he would be special
00:57:22And man
00:57:24And you love the fact he's in that situation
00:57:27He had that dribble penetration
00:57:29There was still time on the clock
00:57:31He didn't try to overpass
00:57:32He saw the opening
00:57:34And he took what he had in front of him
00:57:35Didn't matter, Kay Ray
00:57:36You don't want to wait till the last shot
00:57:38Right
00:57:39Like, you go for it
00:57:40The first angle you had
00:57:41And he had that angle
00:57:43And boom
00:57:45Oh, winner, winner

00:58:38JG out

00:59:08Thank you
00:59:09Wow
00:59:10Let's take another look
00:59:11At the game winner
00:59:12I'm gonna go on record
00:59:13As saying his first
00:59:14In his NBA career
00:59:16I wanted the ball to get to him
00:59:18As we said
00:59:19Out of the timeout
00:59:20And look at that
00:59:21They didn't
00:59:22They weren't gonna help out
00:59:23Like that's the key
00:59:24On parts like games like this
00:59:26Anthony Edwards was not gonna help out
00:59:28Right
00:59:29Because he saw Goodwin knock down threes all game
00:59:31So now it's mano mano at the end
00:59:34And Colin got the right matchup
00:59:36To be able to get the shot off
00:59:37I got a little afraid
00:59:38When Ryan was too aggressive on that three
00:59:41But man
00:59:42What a tremendous game
00:59:44And you know what
00:59:45What's more important
00:59:46Is the guy that they're gonna count on all year
00:59:48Devon Booker
00:59:49Yeah
00:59:50Probably one of his worst games
00:59:51I've ever seen him have
00:59:52Four of 18
00:59:54And but you know what
00:59:56He's ecstatic
00:59:57Because they saved him tonight
00:59:58Call him team
00:59:59Call him team
