Suns keep trying to attack the “overrated” Rudy Gobert off the dribble. Again, if he’s stuck on the perimeter there are so many places to attack elsewhere. – 9:12 PM

Allen down again. Being helped off the court now.
I believe it happened when he looked to block shot from behind. In serious pain folks. #Suns up 3 after Beal basket. O’Neale in. #NBAPlayoffs – 9:11 PM

When you’re playing against Gobert, the guy boxing him out most likely won’t get the rebound because you have to work to keep him off the boards.
Backside guy or the next closest guy has to get that rebound.
In the meantime, Beal out of bounds on catch for 3 off Booker pass. – 9:10 PM

With Phoenix *completely* loaded up on Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns out with foul trouble, the Wolves generated offense through the Conley-Gobert two-man game and through McDaniels attacking the seams.
First half…
Gobert: 5-5 from the field, 12 points
Conley: 4-5 – 8:53 PM

Both teams will feel good about where they are at through an ugly half.
— Suns had plenty of sloppy turnovers and an inefficient shooting half from the Big 3.
— T-Wolves had 4 of their main contributors (Ant, KAT, NAW, Naz) hardly do much and were a mess as well. – 8:51 PM

If you’re Phoenix, you’ll take Jaden McDaniels taking 8 shots from the field, even though he has 10 points, instead of Karl-Anthony Towns, who has taken just 2 shots and has just 2 points on FTs and has only played 8 minutes due to having 3 fouls.

McDaniels 3 and Conley 3 off Edwards assists.
Now this McDaniels-Durant matchup.
McDaniels long, athletic, highly competitive, prideful on defense, but when Durant shoots over the top and then drawd fouls, that can lead to frustration.

Anytime you make an offensive player turn his back to the basket, you won the initial battle.
Booker keeps turning his back to the basket when McDaniels has picked him up at halfcourt.
Gets on offensive glass. Scores. Fouled. FT.
Eric Gordon in for Beal. #Suns down 16-12. – 8:04 PM

Gobert got the bucket, plus it’s a foul on a critical player so high-value challenge by Finch. As for winning? Gobert kind of looked out of control but I’m also not sure Nurkic was there, seemed to turn his shoulder into him. – 7:58 PM
