00:33At the half.
00:37Sunday Night Basketball here, Suns and Hornets,
00:39and it's been the backcourt of Devin Booker and Jalen Green
00:43that has created issues for Charlotte.
00:46They've been on the money tonight.
00:47You can see Booker's making a concentrated effort to get Green going.
00:51He only took 6 shots, but he's quarterbacking.
00:54He's getting Jalen going and, in turn, getting the team going.

13:41Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
14:11Yeah, he can do it in real time, but I also think playing with those 40-year-olds at 14,
14:16that aggressiveness, you have to figure it out.
14:18I know this generation grows up with a lot of trainers. He didn't have the guys, you know, saying, go
14:23to this corner and do this. He had the guy getting a 40 in between the game, in between quarters,
14:27saying, hey, you gotta do this, young fella.
14:57O'Neal, O'Neal squares and fires from downtown, can't connect.
14:58It's a very good tuning in. He did it in an all-〜an Console. You have to be all in
15:03S Southwest. You have to go in part of the stands, but you have to have that collection and make
15:06eye contact.

22:13And here inside the Mortgage Matchup Center, downtown Phoenix, Suns Hornets, East vs. West and a red-hot Hornets team.
22:23Longest road winning streak in the NBA at 10, but right now it's a Suns who lead at 76-70.
22:57On with it.
22:59Number three on Devin Booker.
23:03Now LaMelo being more aggressive, and they're guarding each other, right? They don't turn down smoke.
23:10Ooh, we lost this putting right there.
23:12And the correction, they're going to call the foul on Fleming, not Booker.
23:16You thought maybe on the reach end, but there was no contact.
23:19So Scott Foster charging that to the Suns rookie, Rashear Fleming, who's out on the floor here with fellow rookie,
23:25Kamon Malawash.
23:31Ball lining. Green in the corner. Can't get it.
23:36Ball is yard free, but DimaTorzok able to recover.
23:39LaMelo up top.
23:40The Bridges. Sue Hammers at home.
23:42They're passed by Kobe White, head on the swivel.
23:45No hesitation.
23:50Malawash, he's got ball pinned down inside, but unable to get it to him.
23:57Bounce pass O'Neal.
23:59Five on a shot clock. Booker on the drive.
24:02And that shot sent in to the baseline seats by Diabate.
24:07Watch the young bigs.
24:09They are providing effort, energy, and swatting things.
24:17And then the oop, Kobe White, head already up, no hesitation, throws it up to Bridges.
24:25Yeah, how about part of the turnaround for Charlotte is shot clock lining down.
24:30Booker just does get one away.
24:32Malawash grabs the rebound away from Diabate.
24:37Booker driving, tackle it up, leans inside.
24:41No.
24:42Diabate there to gather.
24:44Up the floor, quickly down to White.
24:47White bottle gets it now, back the ball, who drops in from downtown.
24:52And found somebody else to talk to on the other side, as Charlotte's on an 8-0 run.
24:56You can sense the star players right now being more aggressive, imposing their will on the game.
25:02You start to wonder, does LaMelo have plants in the stands each game?
25:06I think he doesn't like it.
25:07Michael Jordan, he's looking for a reason, right?
25:09He took it personal.
25:13LaMelo, Kobe White, loses control of the ball when you have LaMelo, shoots and starts backing up.
25:19He knows, he's looking for somebody to get him going.
25:2417 for ball.
25:267 rebounds, 5 assists in his 27 minutes.
25:303 of 10 from beyond the arm.
25:32Watching his handle right now, he's just so free with the basketball.
25:36That puts him into his comfort zone when he starts handling it like that.
25:39Here's Bridges backing down, working into the paint on Booker.
25:43And we're going to travel there on Myles Bridges.
25:46That brings the entire Hornets bench up on their feet.
25:511, 2, 3.
25:541, 2, 3.
25:54Bridges getting to his spot.
25:58I'm not sure that was a travel.
25:59Booker played tough defense, but I thought Bridges kept his pivot.
26:07Yeah, the entire Hornets bench jumped up on that call.
26:10Charles Lee included 10 turnovers now in the night for the Hornets.
26:14The Suns have only been able to capitalize the 2-9 points off of those 10 turnovers, though.
26:19Here's Gillespie, checked by Josh Green.
26:22Drives him to the elbow.
26:23Back to Booker.
26:25Gillespie looking for space.
26:27That little one-legged step-back jumper.
26:32You know, and having Steve Nash, the former star,
26:36Bate brings the bull thundering down the lane off a beautiful feed.
26:41Is that a black dunk?
26:43Like, what was that?
26:47Impressive.
26:48I know that.
26:49Yes, it was.
26:51And Diabati has had a hand on both into the floor in the last two or three possessions.
26:57He's going to let one fly.
26:59He's going to let one fly.
27:00Working on Josh Green.
27:01Drives inside with the left hand.
27:04Mowat watch.
27:05Prada recovered.
27:06Knocked out of the hands of a Heisman.
27:08Under a minute to go.
27:09And here in the third, the Suns clinging to a one-point lead.
27:13Gillespie trying to shake Diabati.
27:15Three on the shot clock.
27:17And Diabati sending another one into the baseline seats.
27:21And the fly, Diabati is taking on defense.
27:24He's guarding everybody.
27:26These were baseball.
27:28The fans didn't have three souvenirs because he's got three blocks on the night.
27:31Yes, he does.
27:32And his presence is felt.
27:34And he's moving his puppies.
27:35He's sliding, playing defense.
27:37I didn't know nothing about defense, but he's playing it.
27:41Well, you could say it.
27:42I could say it.
27:43I could say it.
27:51But Charles Lee talked about the insertion of Diabati into their starting lineup.
27:55And his numbers aren't going to pop on the sheet at you, but he makes winning plays.
28:03Five on the shot clock.
28:04Ball back to the left hand.
28:06Drop it up inside to Diabati.
28:08It's stripped by Mowat watch, who's able to recover.
28:12Now Booker's going to get the last shot, but he's going to have to find the matchup that he wants
28:17in this pick and roll, unless he feels good about taking prints.
28:21Son's rookie Mowat watch on the job learning here late in the season.
28:25No Mark Williams the next couple of weeks.
28:28As Heismith bobbles off to Gillespie.
28:31Let's one fly.
28:32Fouled on the three-point attempt with .4 on the clock.
28:38Saw it coming.
28:39And you could almost feel that a foul was going to be there, by the way.
28:45Gillespie shot it.
28:46Shot it.
28:47Floating left just a little bit.
28:49Kobe White's body.
28:52Got him in here.
28:56First free-two attempts of the night for Gillespie.
28:5885% shooter on the season.
29:01He's one of three players this season, Jamal.
29:03With 180 made three-point attempts.
29:0642% shooting.
29:07This is a young man, undrafted.
29:10Didn't have a lot of college looks until Jay Wright and his coaching staff got a look at it.
29:15But he has had to earn everything he's gotten, dating back to high school, college, and now in the NBA.
29:22And you respect guys like that who come through the back door and you say, you know what, I'm going
29:28to grind my way to the top.
29:30And you get your teammates' respect as well.
29:31Nothing is given, everything is earned.
29:37I play with a lot of guys like that, and I root it for him.
29:39Like, you just want to see them accomplish their dream, and he's having great success.
29:43Well, and you can look throughout the history of the league, championship teams will often time have guys like the
29:49Colleen Gillespie as part of that recipe.
29:55And four left, here's the three throws, a full-court heave, and the Suns will get a possession here as
30:03that one seals out of bounds, not touched by either team.
30:08So, the Suns, who have been one of the great late-clock execution teams this season will be afforded an
30:18extra opportunity here, leading by four.
30:20They think they can get something out of it, but they brought Booker and Jaylee the ringbacker.
30:29Veteran Royce O'Neal has triggered the inbounds all season long.
30:37Veteran Royce O'Neal, trying to get a substitution correction here, making sure that all players had gotten to the
30:45table in time.
30:46And Scott Foster gets the confirmation.
30:53Off the inbound, Iguodaro got tackled up in green, Suns won a whistle, they won't get it.
31:00A low-scoring third quarter, but we headed the fourth with the Suns in front, 81-77.
31:05You're watching Sunday Night Basketball, presented by Xfinity.
31:13Rory McIlroy looks to defend his Players' Championship title against Scotty Scheffler in the strongest field in golf at TPC
31:20Sawgrass.
31:21The Players' Championship, Saturday, 2 p.m. Eastern, and Sunday, 1 p.m. Eastern, on NBC and Peacock.
31:30We head into the fourth quarter here in downtown Phoenix, Suns in front, 81-77.
31:38Suns came out of the gate to start that third quarter on a needle run, led by as many as
31:44ten.
31:46Here's Gillespie, beating the rookie Fleming, Fleming, inside, nice left-hand finish.
31:51One rookie attacking the other.
31:54Yes, you see the ball both side to side, that's who Phoenix is.
31:59When they do that, they improve their chances to get a bucket.
32:04Both rookies have seen their minutes go up over the last two weeks, especially now for Malawach.
32:09The Suns' rookie big man, top ten pick in the absence of former Hornet big man Mark Williams.
32:16Bridges stays with it, follows the miss.
32:2014 now for Bridges.
32:23Bridges is talented.
32:25He's both hands, he's aggressive, and he's sacrificing right now, just like the mellow is, to make this thing work.
32:31See, on James, start of the fourth quarter here, along with Colby White, Bridges, Conk Brenner, and Bridges.
32:38The lefty can't get the mid-range to go, but there is the long-armed rookie, 7-6 wingspan for
32:46a sheer Fleming,
32:47and you'd see all of it put to use there.
32:50Four in the shot clock, and Bridges stepping out defensively, whistling for the foul, and the driving Jalen Green.
32:56Jalen Green's first step is lightning quick.
32:58It's not as quick as lightning quick.
33:00He goes from zero to 60, with no effort, he's already fighting.
33:09Green starting his fourth quarter with his second unit, Haywood Highsmith down there as well.
33:14Green driving, dropped it off in traffic, turns it over, but James unable to control.
33:18And the Suns will maintain possession, 8 on the shot clock.
33:22And the Suns will maintain possession, 8 on the shot clock.
33:3315 lead changes, 10 ties so far in this one.
33:39Step back three, Green got off to a hot start, but he has cooled off considerably since.
33:48Sometimes that's what happens when you come back with it.
33:50You think you have a rhythm and a flow, and then he goes back.
33:54Brandon Miller is wide open as he's been all nine, but can't catch it in.
34:00Green sees an opening on the attack, slipping it past Cockbredder, but challenged there, forcing the miss.
34:05In transition, Colby White with an easy two.
34:08Colby White.
34:13Two-point game.
34:17They're trying to get Green in sets where you get a pick and roll, and here it is.
34:24Green working on James.
34:27Clemming catches two, three.
34:28No.
34:29Cockbredder inside position, but unable to control.
34:32Board of fall.
34:33Oh, that will be Shirley basketball.
34:36And this is the time when we also miss Brooks, which is Allen as well.
34:41Green getting to the basket, but being denied.
34:44He would high spin, trying to lock up Colby White, nearly out of steel.
34:51Miller with the left hand, finds White, sets up in the corner.
34:55Unable to get it.
34:57And loose ball, last touch by Shirley.
35:05Well, these are the kind of games for the Charlotte Hornets who are trying to end a long playoff drought.
35:12This is where you, you get a lot of lessons.
35:15Late season, late game situations.
35:18They are, and right now, even Phoenix, they're two for their last 12 with no book on the court.
35:22Where do you go?
35:23But Charlotte, that's why they lost to Miami.
35:26They had to figure out that last four quarter.
35:29Clemming sends a pass.
35:32And it's Highsmith, with a beautiful feed, sets up the rookie with a three-point knockdown.
35:40Highsmith being a vet, knows what's needed.
35:45Though you had a sense that once Haywood Highsmith got completely healthy,
35:50that he would find his way into the rotation, they signed him to a two-year deal.
35:57Gillespie gets the screen, misfires on that one.
36:01Miller with a rebound.
36:04That's nine rebounds now for Brandon Miller to go along with his 11 points.
36:09Kobe White, big body, driving inside.
36:12Contacted, loose ball right into the hands of Ryan Cockbrenner.
36:15They're letting him play.
36:18The pace is picking up.
36:20No balls being fouled.
36:22Miller with hands on green, like you see.
36:25The whistles are quiet as Heisman gets the leader inside.
36:31Yes, more physical brand of style.
36:33But this is possession basketball.
36:35Now it's like, would I go?
36:36What can generate a clean look to my team?
36:40White taking a peek inside, coming over the trade deadline from...
36:45Spending his first years in Chicago.
36:48Back home in Charlotte.
36:49Trying to play an integral role for...
36:52The Charlotte team.
36:54Eager to get into the postseason.
36:55Bridges, too strong with that one across the lane.
36:58He passed to Davis.
36:59But Levin, who ties in, and hammers it home.
37:06And Gillespie.
37:08He just knows how to play.
37:10Head is always up on a squibble.
37:13Gets the pass.
37:14Gets an easy basket for his teammate.
37:17Fleming throws it down.
37:23Brought to you by Wingstop.
37:26Watch Fleming, his energy is contagious.
37:29Attacking the basket.
37:32And then getting the clean looking three point shot.
37:35No hesitation.
37:37Knocking it down.
37:38And then the fast break pass.
37:41From Gillespie.
37:43He is bringing this crowd in the game.
37:45And keeping this team afloat.
37:46Seven of his career high for...
37:50Rashir Fleming.
37:5113 coming here in this fourth quarter.
37:53Long rebound.
37:54Scooped up by Green.
37:58Green working on the rookie.
37:59James.
38:00Towers his way inside.
38:01Won't get it, but will get the whistle.
38:03So, free throws coming here.
38:04For Jalen Green.
38:10Green, you have to give him space.
38:12But he right there, he won the handball.
38:14He got more physical as he got closer to the basket.
38:20And the Suns doing exactly what you had to believe was high on their priority list coming into tonight.
38:26Because of how good Charlotte has been defensively keeping opponents off the free-field line.
38:32That's the 24th and soon to be 25th attempt of the ninth here for Phoenix.
38:36And that's the formula.
38:38Charlotte is an explosive offensive team.
38:40Only has 83 points.
38:43Still seven minutes to go.
38:44And you have to expect to see LaMelo Ball back in the controls history.
38:50The Charlotte team averaging 116 per game.
38:55This is a team that won strict straight games by 15 or more points.
39:00Yeah.
39:01Second longest in NBA history.
39:03And White's even a slip through traffic and get an easy two.
39:06Good pass right there by Grant Williams.
39:08Little rub screen.
39:10Caused confusion.
39:11Left White.
39:13Nobody guarding.
39:16You get hard with a handoff.
39:18Sets up a clean look for Gillespie.
39:21How would you not look for Gillespie?
39:23Like he's a little things guy.
39:25He's low maintenance.
39:28Knows how to play.
39:33Gillespie.
39:34They ran a football route.
39:37Came around the street.
39:38No dribble.
39:40Going left.
39:41That's what he likes to do.
39:42Not going to be your son.
39:44Doc's a bad.
39:453-7 from beyond the arc on the night for Gillespie.
39:48Ten games a season.
39:49He's had five or more made threes.
39:54Made 191 three-point field goals.
39:56Most in the first 63 games of a season here in the Sun's history.
40:02So to make an undrafted guy setting those kind of marks.
40:06Just speaks to the work ethic that Colin Gillespie has had.
40:10There's Kniepil.
40:12Fires with the double team.
40:13Won't get him at James.
40:14Flies in for the offensive rebound.
40:16Dicks it to White.
40:17White missing everything.
40:19Kniepil.
40:19On the putback attempt.
40:21Blocked away.
40:22Sun's in transition.
40:23They've got a man advantage.
40:25Now Booker will hold up as Kniepil comes racing back into the picture.
40:30Closing in on six minutes to go here in the fourth.
40:32Gillespie on the screen.
40:34Wide open look.
40:35And the rainbow connection for Colin Gillespie.
40:48It was an offensive explosion but it was a defensive run that started it.
40:53Good block by Royce O'Neal.
40:55Gillespie going left.
40:58Letting it fly and letting you guys take a picture.
41:00He knew it was good.
41:06Part of a hot start in the fourth quarter for the Suns.
41:09You see they've outscored the Hornets 17-8.
41:1112-2 run here over the last couple of minutes.
41:14And the rookie Rasheer Fleming also a part of it.
41:16Tomorrow.
41:17Yeah he is but even the Hornets.
41:19All their misses have come from three.
41:21They have to go inside and get hot.
41:23Something has to give.
41:25Yeah and so one thing really with both of these teams.
41:27Neither of them rank high in points in the paint.
41:30That's just part of their offensive systems.
41:33Charlotte reading 24th in points in the paint.
41:36The Suns 29th.
41:39Ball.
41:40On the floater over the defender.
41:42Iguodaro.
41:43And he did that with one hand.
41:45Like LaMelo has so many tricks in his bag.
41:48Uh-oh.
41:50Okay.
41:56Booker with 23 to face the Suns scoring attack along with a 24 from Green.
42:00And 21 from Colin Gillespie.
42:03A 3-20 point score.
42:05A big part of the reason the Suns enjoying this lead is Booker.
42:09Taking Penibble into the paint and getting on the turnaround.
42:12And he got right to his spot.
42:14I know he's in his office right now because he's working at night.
42:17And he's going right where he wants to go.
42:19Right on this pretty spot.
42:21Ball fights Williams on the right wing.
42:23Triple.
42:24And he'll have an opportunity for the 4-point play as Iguodaro.
42:28And Gillespie both closing in.
42:30And he'll put Grant Williams the veteran at the line.
42:32He's their personal second team.
42:35Gillespie is upset with the call.
42:38But Grant Williams.
42:41Focused in.
42:42He didn't give him space to land.
42:44So Grant Williams in the 4-point playoff.
42:46He has a friendly fire from his teammate Iguodaro that kind of bumped him into the feet of Williams.
42:52Now in his seventh season.
42:5612 points in the game against Miami Friday night.
43:03Both these teams trying to do everything they can to get out of the play-in.
43:09Suns come in number 7.
43:10Charlotte currently sitting in the 10-spot.
43:13Booker driving on ball.
43:15Tied up.
43:15Draws a triple-team.
43:16Sets up limit.
43:18Light over.
43:18And he picks it all.
43:20With a 3-point hit.
43:21I don't know what he's going in.
43:23But to make the defense collapse,
43:25and that was putting it on the outside.
43:27That is assist number 9 for Devin Booker to go along with his 25 points.
43:31Ball with that one leg and step back 3.
43:35How does he make this 3 consistently with that one leg up?
43:39It's almost like he is balanced the way he shoots.
43:46Here's O'Neal controlling the basketball.
43:48Miller stepping out defensively.
43:50Playing with 4 fouls.
43:52That pass deflected.
43:58Book gets a lot of attention.
43:59Look how many blue jerseys are in the paint.
44:02Throws it out.
44:03Fleming.
44:04Knocking it down.
44:06And then Melo with the pullback.
44:08Watch the one leg 3.
44:11Time out.
44:11Nothing but that.
44:149 on the shot clock.
44:154-12 at a game clock.
44:17And Jordan Ott is going to get a timeout with his team leading.
44:201-0-3-94.
44:22A great one here on Sunday.
44:26Devin Booker and the Suns trying to get a win and doing so would exceed their win total from a
44:33year ago already.
44:3519 games to play coming into tonight's game.
44:39They're 21-13 here on their home floor.
44:4325 points, 9 assists.
44:47But this Charlotte team has been a handful for virtually everybody since January 1.
44:52And Booker with some Sunday night banking of his own.
44:56Yes.
44:57I knew he was going to shoot.
44:58I didn't know he was going to bank it.
45:00I'm not sure he knew but he ran off like Joe Cool so I'm just going to give him the
45:03credit for it.
45:05Ball in a spin.
45:06Lost his footing.
45:07Nearly lost the basketball.
45:10Maintains control of Diabatti.
45:12Finds Williams.
45:14Across the floor down of Miller.
45:19I'm surprised they got that look of how that possession started.
45:22Because with LaMelo I thought he was a little off balance.
45:26Nicodaro rolling and Ball was on his hip defensively.
45:30He had no choice but to try to grab the bigger Nicodaro and pick up the personal.
45:34The third virtual.
45:3513-5.
45:36Let's take a look at the upcoming national TV schedule on Peacock tomorrow night.
45:42You've got a absolute classic Nuggets at Thunder.
45:46Knicks at Clippers.
45:47And then NBC Peacock Tuesday.
45:49Celtics at the Spurs.
45:50Timberwolves at the Lakers.
45:51For more on these games please go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
45:5815 on the shot clock.
46:01Three and a half to go here in the fourth.
46:04Booker.
46:05Raising up over Knitler.
46:07Feathery soles from the five-time All-Star.
46:10And that's what separates him.
46:11When you can get those kind of shots with that kind of space,
46:15in a tough situation you're special.
46:18Ball can't hit the three but Diabatti will generate the foul call.
46:24This is Booker and his copy bag.
46:26Look at the patience.
46:27No worries.
46:28No rush.
46:29One dribble.
46:30Pull up.
46:31You work on those situations.
46:32But you don't always make it look that easy.
46:39Miller.
46:40Trying to clear space on Booker.
46:42Got an elbow up into his face.
46:43And that's going to be foul number five.
46:45Brandon Miller.
46:46On Brandon Miller.
46:48And Booker knows that foul number five.
46:50So look for him to be more aggressive with Miller still guarding.
46:58Book playing defense.
47:00Miller makes contact.
47:02Brings awareness to the contact.
47:06Miller started off strong.
47:09But he's been held to 11 points.
47:12Thus far.
47:13Booker draws a double team out of his hands to O'Neal.
47:16Clemming right back to O'Neal.
47:18Squares.
47:19Fires.
47:20Gillespie fighting for loose ball rebound.
47:22And able to out jump.
47:23The defender.
47:28Booker working on Williams.
47:31Williams a tremendous on ball defender.
47:34To Gillespie.
47:36At the three.
47:36Yes!
47:40Not quite the way he was drawn up.
47:42But number one to number 12.
47:45With the payoff.
47:46And you can see they have a connection.
47:48Booker was so happy.
47:50To get the ball to Gillespie.
47:52He knew he had a chance to knock it down.
47:54Phoenix on the 7-0 run.
47:5524 points for Gillespie.
47:57A most improved player candidate.
48:00And showing you why with the performance tonight.
48:02And they get another offensive foul called here.
48:05Against Charlotte.
48:09Booker was taking the challenge.
48:10Brent Williams said no.
48:11Not today.
48:12Look.
48:13Establishes the clock.
48:14He says here.
48:16Take this.
48:16And they both run back down court laughing.
48:19Good pass.
48:20Better shot.
48:21You see the sun to that.
48:22Grayson Allen.
48:23Dillon Brooks.
48:24And you know you look at this team.
48:25And we talked about it before the game.
48:27But Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, and Devin Booker have played a total of five games together.
48:32Booker.
48:35Williams leaping high with a rebound of the miss.
48:37He wanted that one though.
48:38He wanted to.
48:40To say night night.
48:42So Williams trailing to play.
48:44And sees that one go down.
48:48Charlie Lee taking a look at the clock.
48:50As we hit the two minute mark here.
48:57Charlotte the hottest road team in the NBA.
48:59Winners of ten straight.
49:02Trying to climb back above five hundred with a win.
49:06Five on a shot clock.
49:07Gabriel Booker.
49:08Working on ball.
49:09And then the whistle and a foul.
49:11And that will be the fourth team foul.
49:13On Charlotte.
49:14Suns with three team fouls.
49:16And it stops the clock with 1.39 to go.
49:18Here in the fourth.
49:19Fourth team foul.
49:20Back to the Sun.
49:21You can see Booker was looking to get left.
49:23He had a lot of space.
49:24The defense was loaded up on that right side.
49:26So he was just waiting for the right moment to attack.
49:33Ball is going to take his seat.
49:35Miller taking his seat.
49:36As Josh Green will check in.
49:38Along with Scion James.
49:40And Charles Lee.
49:43With the first of four straight road games out west.
49:53Technical foul.
50:03Too many players on the floor.
50:06So that sets up Booker back to the free throw line.
50:08Where he remains perfect on the ninth.
50:11It's a new season high from the line tonight for Booker.
50:1415.
50:14And he's made all 15.
50:18His free throw attempts.
50:23Have mirrored that of Charlotte.
50:25They are 10 of 15.
50:28Charlotte 10 of 15.
50:31Book.
50:33Got up 18 shots tonight.
50:34Didn't feel like it.
50:35They were in the flow.
50:36But 30 points, 10 assists.
50:37Like this.
50:39Iguodaro with an opening down the lane.
50:40But unable to get that lane to go down.
50:47Three men out there on the floor now.
50:49As Charles Lee will look ahead to the next game on this road trip.
50:56Ridges on a strong drive and finish.
50:59Ridges set up.
51:01Look with the crossover.
51:03High finish.
51:0516 on the ninth.
51:07For Miles Bridges.
51:13Now they just want to kill Clock and get the matchup they want.
51:16Look for Booker to go back door and slip out.
51:19The last beat.
51:21Whoa.
51:22High spin fighting the loose ball rebound.
51:24It gets it over Pat Connerton.
51:27And the Suns just working some clock.
51:33And the Suns just working some clock.
51:34The Lesby finds High spin.
51:37Tied up.
51:38Able to get it on the iron.
51:40And that little bounce.
51:41Top of the clock with 36 seconds left.
51:45The Suns are going to pick up their 37th win of the season against 27 losses.
51:50They'll continue to make their push in the Western Conference standing.
51:55They've injured tonight's game in the seventh spot.
51:59Meanwhile Charlotte sitting in the tenth spot.
52:03Still plenty of opportunities ahead to try and at the very least climb out at ten and try to get
52:09the seven at a minimum.
52:10And it's going to be interesting the rest of the season because every game is going to mean a little
52:14bit more as the season closes.
52:17Because you never know which one will say, you know what, we're out of it.
52:21Or we're in it.
52:23The Charlotte team that has missed the postseason since 2016.
52:27But as one writer put last week, our long hibernation is over.
52:34And it's finally time to celebrate a loss like this tonight.
52:38And it'll be back-to-back losses against Miami and now Phoenix.
52:42But a loss like this tonight does not diminish everything they've accomplished over the last two months.
52:47No, and like we talked about, their belief is still there.
52:49And now they have a city that's exciting.
52:51And those two things together, at times, that's what magic happens.
53:01And with the crossover, step back, they'll get it.
53:04Malawatch snatched away another rebound, his ninth of the ninth.
53:07And these fans here, Phoenix, appreciate it of a winning effort from their team.
53:13And the Suns will bring up their 22nd home win of the season.
53:19Charlotte will fall to 18 and 16 away.
53:2332 and 33 overall.
53:28The Suns defensively held one of the most explosive offensive teams in the league to just 99 points.
53:37The Suns didn't just go on an offensive run.
53:39They went on a defensive run.
53:41And they were clamped up.
53:42They were all connected, flying around.
53:44And they made it tough on the Warriors tonight.
53:46You see the Suns rookie Rashear Fleming, a career-high 16 points.
53:5330 for Devin Booker to lead all scorers.
53:57Booker with a double-double.
54:0124 points from Jalen Green.
54:05Let's swing it over to Jordan with a very happy Devin Booker.
54:09So Book, for only the eighth time this season, we see you and Jalen Green out there together.
54:15This was supposed to be what this team looked like.
54:17You two combined for 54 points tonight.
54:20What was going right for you two?
54:22I mean, Jalen's getting his pot back, man.
54:24Another 30 ball?
54:25Woo!
54:27Another 30 ball your boy Colin Gillespie said.
54:30Yeah.
54:30Jalen's getting his pot back, man.
54:32We've all been rallying behind him as he's been preparing for this.
54:35But every team deals with injuries.
54:37So, you know, we still want to find a way.
54:39We're still a couple guys down.
54:41But, you know, we're still playing team basketball.
54:43Book, me and you are walking into the arena and we're talking about how this year has breathed new life
54:47into you.
54:48It's been refreshing, this group.
54:50You hit Gillespie on the wing.
54:52He knocks down a three late in the game.
54:54You're smiling.
54:55You're laughing.
54:55Seems like you're having so much fun.
54:57Yeah.
54:57I mean, winning's fun.
55:00Team chemistry's fun.
55:01We just built a camaraderie throughout this group, throughout the year.
55:04We've gotten closer.
55:07You know, it's fun to be a part of, man.
55:09Feels like this team could be a playoff team.
55:11Yeah.
55:12I mean, that's the goal.
55:13You know, we're going to take it one game at a time.
55:15We're right in the seventh spot right now.
55:17But, you know, there's opportunity to move up.
55:20Well, it's fun to watch tonight, Devin.
55:21Congratulations.
55:22Appreciate you, man.
55:23Thanks.
55:23Back to you guys.
55:24Thank you, Jordan.
55:25A winning night in the desert for Devin Booker and the Suns.
55:30Once again, the final score.
55:32Suns win over the Hornets, 111-99.
55:35Monday night, the NBA returns to Peacock with a doubleheader.
55:38As the Nuggets visit the Thunder at 6.30 p.m. Eastern,
55:40followed by the Knicks and Clippers at 10 p.m. Eastern.
55:43For Jamal Crawford, Jordan Cornett, and our entire crew, I am Kevin Ray.
55:49Thanks for watching Sunday Night Basketball presented by Xfinity.
55:53We'll be right back.
