Better 8-0 #Suns run under Monty Williams?
In Orlando bubble to keep slim playoff hopes alive during the rise of the COVID pandemic or this season after an 1-3 start, during Robert Sarver allegations/NBA investigation and not having Deandre Ayton for six of those games? – 11:33 PM

Good minutes from Jalen Green. Has 9 points, couple good dive-and-kicks.
Something you might notice — talked about on @ChronTXSN TV show on later — is he is more often driving, going past defenders, finishing off one leg, rather than gathering and trying to go over everyone. – 8:02 PM

Jalen Green empty corner PnRs with Wood are a lot more effective than with Theis. With Wood, the defender hesitates until Wood pops or rolls. With Theis, they camp in the pain. It’s not a coincidence that Green is most effective when he has space in lane to use athleticism. – 8:00 PM

What we just saw earlier with Eric Gordon is how #Rockets should utilize him.
Can he do more than catch and shoot 3s? Yes., but for this team with young guys who play off the bounce in Green and Porter, Gordon can help by just spacing the floor.

First time watching Alperen Sengun in-person. Best way to describe him: A player who just has incredible feel for where he needs to be on both offense and defense. He is so timely with his cuts, passes, or possession resets. Defensively, just plays both hard and smart. #Rockets – 7:34 PM

📅 On this day in 1975, the @Los Angeles Lakers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 35 points, 19 rebounds, nine assists, and eight blocks in a win over the Suns.
It was the second straight game in which Abdul-Jabbar tallied at least 30p/15r/5a/5b. No other player has recorded two such games in a row. pic.twitter.com/eowNyzTg69 – 1:01 PM
